Well now even though they are getting older they sill say him alot which confuses the Adoption agency so they correct it but they all feel confortable call me Pappi or Dad and that is what I Love.

we have also 3 younger kids 6-8 which we are still in the midst of adoption process they were very confused at first because they were very young and they called me pappi they see a man and thats it, but my Ex-felt that it would cause confusion not to correct them because of the process we were going through.

I have always wanted to tell my kids i have 3 older from 17-15 which new from the very start of me and my Ex relationship they were ok with it.

My oldest is 25 and youngest is 14. I talked to my kids on an ongoing basis. Now I'm a Papa and I'll tell him when he is able to understand. The most important thing to share is that I love them. Trans is a word that can be debated, how I treat my kids is an action. The most important thing a transgendered parent can realize is that they are NOT the only ones going through a transition

i told my kids, they didn't care about me being trans, my oldest is 11 and she just asked if she can still call me mommy in public

I would tell my child(ren), but when they are like, 16-18 years of age. It's all about honesty with your child and acceptance.

no thats way too late.i would tell them from the start.but in a way they would understand.

I agree! We must give kids the benefit of the doubt. Children should be apart of their parents live and basically educated. They are the future.
