Parenting can be a wild ride, especially for adoptive families. Here’s a lighthearted look at some of the most outrageous comments we’ve encountered.
- “Are you going to tell the kids they’re adopted?” Well, considering we’re white and they’re black, I think they’d figure it out without our help!
- “Why didn’t their mom want them? I mean, they’re adorable!” Adoption isn’t about looks; our kids were wanted and loved by their biological parents. As for the reasons behind it? That’s a private matter.
- “Aren’t you worried that an open adoption will lead to their birth parents wanting them back?” Nope! Our adoptions are ethical and legal. We believe open adoption benefits everyone involved—us, our kids, and their biological families.
- “What would you do if their birth parents showed up at your door?” We’d invite them in, pour some drinks, and catch up! But thanks for the awkward scenario.
- “Now that you’ve adopted, are you planning to have your *own* kids?” Um, excuse me? My kids are absolutely my own, thank you very much!
- “God bless you for rescuing these poor children! They’re so lucky to have you!” Our kids aren’t charity cases; they come from loving parents who just couldn’t raise them at that time. Honestly, we feel lucky to be their parents!
- “Were their birth parents on drugs?” Seriously? That’s a wild assumption. Maybe you should take a step back and rethink your question.
- “They are beyond cute! Which country are they from?” Spoiler alert: Missouri.
- “Are they full siblings or mixed?” They’re not coffee blends or dog breeds; they’re human beings with thoughts and feelings. But thanks for being… well, you.
- “Are they all real siblings?” Absolutely! Just take a look at how they’re playfully torturing each other right now—classic sibling behavior!
