Creating a Family: Talk about Adoption & Foster Care

Should We Tell Our 5-Year-Old That the New Baby was Donor Conceived? - Weekend Wisdom

Question: Do you have any suggestions for articles or posts on telling a sibling that their new baby sibling is third-party conceived (e.g. donor egg)? We haven't told our 5-year-old son that we are pregnant yet, and I'm wondering if it is appropriate to tell him we used donor eggs at the same time we drop the big news that he will be a big brother. He will already have questions about conception. Too much info all at once?
