Poll

Question: Children at home: When to tell? If you are adopting or DID adopt while you had a child at home, did you tell them about the adoption? How much? and When?

Options:

No, we felt they wouldn't understand some aspects.

No, we didn't feel it was necessary.

Yes, we told them from day one so that they were in the know the whole time!

Yes, but we waited until referral was given so the wait time was less on them.

Yes, but we waited until we traveled to get the child.

I don't know, we are still deciding and need some help.

A Boy with Autonomic Dysfunction - The Miller Family

Our Special Life

Oliver was born after having suffered a stroke while in his mother's womb. The resulting brain injury is called Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction). His doctors believe the stroke was the result of the miscarriage of his twin. Oliver is completely blind and his underdeveloped brain stem makes basic physical functions a challenge. In spite of all this, he is a happy, go-lucky, 12-year-old boy, and his mom wants people to meet the real Oliver, not just his medical hardships.
