BUT there are some people who just don't know how to ask the right way or are just asking for who knows what reason! And when I talk to my non-adodptive friends about it, they look at me like I am being too sensitive. Uggh!! It bothers me more now they my children are almost three because they understand so much more.Barbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432374931634637986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109143451120586356.post-5088698963774940002007-10-25T10:09:00.000-04:002007-10-25T10:09:00.000-04:00I just blogged last week about an incident at the ...I just blogged last week about an incident at the grocery store! People can be so darn nosy, and it gets tiring being polite and educate. I think some people are just ignorant! If I hear one more comment about "real parents" I will just scream!Nan and Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944183191479623946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109143451120586356.post-41566548719646494542007-10-24T11:56:00.000-04:002007-10-24T11:56:00.000-04:00Oh we could have a field day with this thread - ho...Oh we could have a field day with this thread - how about - What's the worst question you've ever been asked? Here's my entry - A lovely young woman seemed to be honestly interested in adoption and was chatting with me shortly after Brianna came to us from Korea. At the end of the conversation she asked me if she could ask a 'personal' question. Sure - why not. The question was "Did your daughter cost you very much?" My response - "Well, the child was free - but the shipping and handling was a real b@#$h!" Sometimes you just have to laugh....Ohilda - continue in a like and similar manner - only the best--Aus (and we are LOA from China yesterday - hope to travel around 11/27!)Aushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740211277947404999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109143451120586356.post-62498671873078428602007-10-24T00:37:00.000-04:002007-10-24T00:37:00.000-04:00I've enjoyed your journey to Anna Grace.

Lots of fertility drug questions, do twins run in your family and "glad it's not me." Also there are the wonderful comments too. The "you're so blessed and I'd love to have twins...." etc. So it all balances out usually but boy to my hackles come up when the personal questions come fron people I don't even know from Adam. <BR/>I think most people mean well but a few are just plain nosey!<BR/><BR/>:-)thewindowwasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888377918301355414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109143451120586356.post-47167722632920863562007-10-24T00:10:00.000-04:002007-10-24T00:10:00.000-04:00Ohilda,Oh my goodness !

I've never commented here before, but I enjoy your adventures.:) I have three kids, two bio and one adopted from China, all close in age (ages 4, 5, & 7). I always cringe when the questions start... my 'favorite' was when someone saw that my youngest is Chinese and asked me, "Oh, couldn't you have any more of your own?" What are some people thinking?!?! :)<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>NoelleNoellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807617925945457900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109143451120586356.post-68146959463695298612007-10-23T09:23:00.000-04:002007-10-23T09:23:00.000-04:00Oh, Ohilda!

It can get tiring sometimes. I am sure when we have our AJ home the comments and questions will double!! I like reading how others handle it because it helps me with some answers and ways to handle people that ask questions etc.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120797828275746435noreply@blogger.com
