I feel exactly the same! My LO has 5 birth siblings in total (at last count), all half siblings & she has only known 2 of them. It’s so complicated, how are they supposed to make sense of such complicated family trees? At the moment we have shared photos of “tummy mummy” & she just accepts that. I have no idea how to go beyond that … 🙁

Our son is 3 years old as well, and he has a brother adopted somewhere else. We knew since the start that the other family didn’t want to have face to face contact with us, but last summer out of the blue they got in contact with us and we had a nice couple of hours together. My son enjoyed greatly to meet his older brother, but over the following two, three weeks his behaviour became very aggressive and deregulated. I think I took for granted that he was too young to understand about brotherhood, but I was so wrong. Unfortunately, it seems like it was a one-off meeting, as the brother’s family is not answering to any of my emails. I find it very sad when siblings cannot have some form of relationship because they are adopted into different families, and it might create some problems when the kids grow up. I’m sure you’ll master your answers before you’re asked again, and you won’t be taken by surprise. XX
