So today I was at a meeting with other moms of preschoolers, and this woman who I don't really know says to me, "I don't mean to be rude, but how and why did you adopt a white baby?"
OMG- yes she really asked that! I simply told her that we were open to a lot of parameters including several different racial backgrounds, and this is what we were chosen for.
She replied, "Well, it seems like people are adopting babies of other races these days."
Yes, I spared her the long story about parents are, in fact, adopting babies of all races. And no, I didn't even ask her if she even knew anyone personally who was involved in an adoption. I'm sure she doesn't and if she does, she doesn't know them well.
Shaking my head....
Next week I'm going to do another week of Wordless Wednesdays posts (and Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri!).
So tune in, or don't tune in if you don't wish to be inundated with pictures of my babies! The choice is yours! ;)
(The principal at my son's school always says in the daily announcements "Make it a great day. Or not. The choice is yours.)
I finally uploaded pictures to my computer. Yay!
