I think I love you.
Tell your wife...Oh my gosh. I think I love you. <br /><br />Tell your wife not to worry. I really *love* my husband. But I love your sarcasm.<br /><br />I am the mother of two boys. Both adopted. They are now 5 & 6. I STILL get stupid questions like this. Thanks for the ammo.<br /><br />Good luck with your adoption.~beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427208134724320945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790495147597408531.post-48532602214232958502010-07-21T16:40:00.994-04:002010-07-21T16:40:00.994-04:00Great post!

I got <i>"What language will she speak?"</i> I didn't know language was imprinted at birth and we needed to do something about it...<br /><br />I also got far too many times before/after adoption the <i>"Will/Did you meet the real mother?"</i> I always replied <i>"I know her already - it's ME."</i>But I don't think that was sarcastic. It's the real thing. So, saying you've been married to her for 14 years is the right answer to the stupid adoption question. However, I can guarantee that in 2.5 seconds after your reply you'll get <i>"Oh, well... You know what I mean."</i> which is just as annoying...<br /><br />I have published several posts on my blog about the bizarre comments people make... Please stop by and have a look.

Everyone around looks different, and kids these days, from what I gather, tend not to care too much about these things. But I could be completely wrong. You're right about one thing. I have every intention of molding this kid in my own image and sarcasticity.MC Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135224394821535801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790495147597408531.post-1620022972937103892010-07-19T08:17:01.867-04:002010-07-19T08:17:01.867-04:00The unfortunate thing is your child will have the ...The unfortunate thing is your child will have the same questions asked all through school.

I still shudder at the questions she was and still is asked. What's wrong with people?

I think it's interesting that you are in close, confined quarters with strangers and they tend to tell you/ask you such personal questions.<br /><br />Good answers.

I have a close friend (incidentally, he is South Korean) who I was talking to lately and he mentioned that he wants to get married and have kids. And then he said that he's definitely not going to adopt. <br /><br />I think it's wonderful that you're adopting a child! Asian babies are the cutest. (I'm Asian. I'm biased. haha.)Abbyhttp://lovedfromthestart.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790495147597408531.post-59001364387338348012010-07-14T12:46:58.271-04:002010-07-14T12:46:58.271-04:00That doesn't surprise me in the least.

When I tell them we aren't (DH has one all ready, and we like things the way they are), I get "the look." Like I'm crazy. Like what kind of woman wouldn't want to have her own children? Then come all the other questions. Why not? Don't you think the Little One would like a brother or sister? Are you going to adopt? Don't you two want to have a child of your own?<br /><br />And on and on...April Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000526454256802504noreply@blogger.com
