We told this little princess last night that she was adopted. Kk is a girl of extremes so I was ready for the worst. She is either happy or sad, she doesn't react or over-reacts, she is angry or content. There is really no middle ground for her.
We told her that daddy adopted her when she was a baby and she had another daddy when she was born who decided she would be better off with one daddy instead of two whole families. From the moment we started talking to her about it she clung to Michael like she hasn't since she was 3.
I can not tell you how many times I have thanked my Heavenly Father that Kk's biological dad was a sensible person, willing to sacrifice so much for this little girl. It's not that he didn't want to be there for her, he just knew that she had a GREAT daddy already.
I know there will likely be several questions in our future but so far she's content just knowing.
I was a bit surprised by Kk's reaction to the conversation. Her statement pretty much sums it up.
"You didn't adopt me dad, me and mom adopted you!!"
She is a smart little girl!
