Thank you MommaBear and Mummy Kazz, It's good to hear from you both.
We start our workshops in October. We haven't mentioned anything to our children as yet as we feel the workshops will give us a starting point of discussion. We plan to involve them both along the whole process from then as we want to make sure they get a chance to ask their questions and explore the process with us.
Still gathering info and reading up on parenting etc. MommaBear I haven't had a chance to read your blog but I've made a note of it to read soon, thank you.

Hi there,
I have two biological children, who were aged 6 and 4 when we adopted a 4 year old. They are all very close in age. That was 5 years ago. Our AS has some difficulties, but all 3 children get along great and really look after each other. We are heading into the pre-teen years and I am nervous about having 3 pre-teens, and particularly wondering what challenges will present as my AS re-experiences his foster and adoption experiences as his cognitive skills reach new levels. But I wouldn't have changed a thing and we feel very blessed. I am actually new to this site, but I am feeling very nervous reading about everyone else's difficulties with their adopted children - birth children dynamics, wondering if I have missed a step...
