Hi all,
We were recently contacted by post adoption support to be told that the birth father of 2 of our adopted children has died. They have never met him and we don't have a photo of him (although we are trying to get hold of one), but they know of him through us telling them their journey.
Just hoping that someone with some experience of this could give us some advice on how best to tell them? They are 6, so age appropriate for now, but also how to help support them as they get older.
Obviously we have no idea how they will react, but I do know that I am very sad that their choice over whether they would like to meet him in the future has now been taken away.
Thanks for any advice you can give ?
