Never thought to ask you all, but no better forum.

03/30/05 11:53 AM

When I was 18, I gave birth to a son whom was immediately adopted. The pregnancy, of course, was not planned, but the adoption was well planned. That was 15 years ago. Since then, I married, gave birth to 3 more sons and divorced. I am now the single mother of a nearly 10 year old, an 8 year old and a 5 year old. The father of my first born and I are in contact and on excellent terms. We have agreed to "passively" and cooperatively attempt to locate the child upon his coming of age, which is approaching soon. (I think that when the child is 18, the records are open, I could be wrong...)

When is the appropriate time to let my younger sons know they have a half brother? I can't imagine that dropping a bombshell like that too late or too early would be healthy. Has anyone dealt with such a situation?
