I don't think it's a matter of when to tell her, but rather to keep the thought going in the process of growing up-that she's chosen. My nephews have known all their lives they're adopted; it was never an issue. It's best that it's a second nature, not something to be sprung on them down the line.
My kids know they're 'lab babies' and weren't conceived the 'normal' way (sometimes I even use that as a joke lament: $40k and 10 years of my life and this is what I get!?!) And we have discussed our amazement that they are the ones out of 15 possibilities.
