I know there have been times when I have been out with Eden and have had "those looks" from people because she looks nothing like me, I even had one lady as "what is she?" and "has she got something in her" WTF??? <br /><br />I think you just have to rise above other people ignorance. :o)<br /><br />Shel xxShelhttp://edensbabylife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-86712581102826112712011-11-23T10:09:05.324-08:002011-11-23T10:09:05.324-08:00So sorry you and your husband had to deal with tha...So sorry you and your husband had to deal with that RUDE lady. Just know that there are far more people out there that think its great that you got to add that amazing little boy to your family. You are his momma, and your husband is his dad. Just tell the rude people where to go... and have fun enjoying both of your handsome little guys. :)Jennhttp://www.momsomeday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-35096831982117555752011-11-22T20:46:48.284-08:002011-11-22T20:46:48.284-08:00Thanks Laks!

I guess I was just not raised that way. Even when I see a caucasian couple with say a Chinese child, I'd never question it. Families are formed in so many ways and no adoptive family needs to answer rude peoples inquiries:(<br /><br />Elisabeth- one persons easy is another persons hard, very hard. But it's just so odd people throw in their 2 cents without regard to the other persons feelings:(<br /><br />Jo- When my husband and I talked about it previously, we always said we would say we were his parents and never feel obligated to throw out that he was adopted or that he was a foster baby. We've just never had anyone not just leave it at that once we said that he was our son. Even when we were foster parents, we always just referred to him as our son because that's all he know. UNLESS we were at the Native hospital or something that legally required us to not state we were his parents but his foster parents. <br /><br />I just love that kid to death and want to protect his feelings!!Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700381836723709672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-73188295634159133532011-11-22T19:01:27.781-08:002011-11-22T19:01:27.781-08:00Wow that lady had some nerve to grill your husband...Wow that lady had some nerve to grill your husband like that. I would have flat out told her she was rude and not answered her string of questions. Your situation is no ones business but your own.I guess this is something i should prepare myself for in the future, im sure ill have the same situation happen to us down the line.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737972081848105715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-12080932137694422702011-11-22T18:21:48.547-08:002011-11-22T18:21:48.547-08:00My friends who've adopted have encountered rud...My friends who've adopted have encountered rude people as well. We were at a baby shower where our mutual friend was the guest of honor. And I guess a distant rude releative came and happened to sit at our table and my friend brought along her son M with us that day because his dad was working. She asked lots of questions as M is Indian (India) and then she proceeded to make the remark that they took the easy way to parenting.<br /><br />My friend didn't say anything but I felt the need to. I wasn't mean but I think she got the point and realized she said something wrong. It was personal for me not just because she's my friend but because a year before we were in the adoption process and we'd been struggling to have a family.<br /><br />Sorry I have no option but to post as anonymous there's still issues with blogger.<br /><br />Elisabeth<br />miracleaftertherain.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-89018369083381275022011-11-22T14:36:07.128-08:002011-11-22T14:36:07.128-08:00Oh heck no! I just can't even believe. I mean ...Oh heck no! I just can't even believe. I mean I can...I have heard so many things from strangers (and we get a lot of stares...have you seen the various shades and colors in my family? Lol) but that takes the cake.<br />Your husband sounds like a good person. We all think we would have the perfect answer or response when dealing with a rude person but in reality many times we don't. It's the shock of it, that leaves us speechless.<br />Don't let her ignorance get to you anymore. She is not worth it. Your boys are blessed to have a momma and daddy like you and your husband!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498328152168624157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-72913889188297047932011-11-22T12:10:51.636-08:002011-11-22T12:10:51.636-08:00Muaah to your boys..God bless your family..
