Really up to you dear, but I found my twins after 34 and 36 years. My girls I told long ago ,but they never saw so they questioned it. Then when Jesus helped me find them I wrote to one when by quincedence learning ones name and he lived over the fence from me. Surprize.The other i called the Sheriff in his town and left word with him to have my son call me.He did. I didn't know he did not know he was adopted. I told him I was his mom, he said your lying . Then he asked his parents and they said yes, and now we are all good friends and share his love.I hav 3 girls, who now know their brothers and all the children. My story turned out good and lots of acceptance and love. Maybe your children will help you find?Ask the Mormen church to help you find old news paper with his birth and look for people with new borns born when your son was.

I placed my first son up for adoption in September 1986 (Columbus, Ohio). In 1993 & 1997 I had my current son and daughter. I want to tell them about their big brother, but I wonder at what age I should do this. My oldest son is going to be 20 this year and he may never look for me or have any interest in finding me. Should I wait until he does before I explain things to my 2 current children?
