Total stranger. And I was in the "good" column for *her*, but have definitely been in the "bad" column from other people, because I didn't help any of the POOR ORPHANS in this country. Win some, lose some. T-Shaped--Since my "advice" was rather pointed and a wee tad sharp, I think she was flustered. She also didn't get it at first. Then she exited the conversation. :D As for the dotter--this morning, in the car, I asked her how she felt about "the lady asking all the questions about you", in a very neutral way. She said, "It kinda bothered me." Then she went on back to her playing. Time to take it under advisement, I think. MomEtc--Get used to it. It comes and goes. This one was...um...particularly "in your face". Julie–Oh, yes. Total stranger.

We had a dental assistant who came to work in our office one day a few weeks ago. She decided it was ok to ask me WHY I freaking adopted! Like am I supposed to explain to someone I just met that day that I can't give birth...and then answer any of her nosy follow up questions. Ridiculous! Of, course, she kept asking me about having "my own" children some day!!!! Some people are so thick it’s incredible. We had a dental assistant who came to work in our office one day a few weeks ago.

And was your daughter unconcernced with the line of questioning? Gotta run- gotta go put on my "I heart adoption" shirt before dinner. Heh. So I am curious- how’d the waitress take your advice?

Total stranger? Whew. Hey at least you are in the Good Column. Me? I am apparently a self-centered racist pig for undergoing IF treatment to have my own biological children when there are SO MANY POOR ORPHANS in this country and around the world crying EVERY NIGHT for a mommy and daddy. Annoying.
