Ok I know a lot of people I have met over my lifetime so far are adopted and they were split on how they found out about it. Some were told by their adopted parents and others guessed it by the difference in appearance from their adoptive parents, deciding to find out on their own. I personally believe that a child who is adopted should be told that they were adopted and any possible reason that was given for them being given up for adoption. I think the child deserves to know what is going on so that there is no confusion or problems later due to concerns the child may have. I think they should be told pre-teen age about it because by that point they are beginning to mature somewhat and I believe they can handle the full conversation. So my questions for this debate comes in two parts : 
1. Do you believe a child should be told or not about being adopted and the circumstances surrounding it ? 
2. If you decide yes, then at what age do you think the child be told and why that age ?

I think the child should, but until they are old enough. And how old is old enough? Well, it depends on each person. They should at least be mature enough to not freak out, yet be not too old to be completely pissed off when they are told.

Even though I think children should definitely be told, I can understand why some parents might not want to mention it.  I think it's important to know where you come from, however... even if the past is painful. I also believe it's every person's right.  As for the age... I honestly believe the answer isn't as black-and-white.  A child should be told when they're capable of understanding the reasons and handling the emotions.

Brain-Splattered :  The child should definitely be told.  No doubt.  At what age? That's a difficult one.  Personally I would say the younger the better, or try and "read" your child.  Most of the time kids will let you know when they are ready for certain things
