Dear Sugar:
The other day, I was thinking about all the things people have said to our family. After almost a decade (a decade!) in the adoption community, we've encountered many interested, funny, not-funny, awkward, strange, absurd, complimentary, and shocking situations.
These are all actual things that have been said to us. I'd love to hear from you! Head over to Facebook and chime in: what has been said to your family?
1: Are they real siblings?
2: Now that you've adopted, are you going to try to have your own real children?
3: You have a beautiful family.
4: What country are your kids from?
5: Are you going to tell them they are adopted?
6: I've always wanted to adopt.
7: God bless you for adopting!
8: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DO YOUR DAUGHTERS' HAIR?!?
9: Are they [kids] in foster care?
10: Why didn't you adopt white children?
11: At least you didn't have to deal with stretch marks!
12: There are so many kids who need good, loving homes.
13: Do ya'll run a daycare?
14: How could someone give away such beautiful babies?
15: I don't see color.
