I do feel a little badly for the people who say things like "adopted son" or "own children" or whatever, because most of the time they mean no harm. But I AM SICK OF IT. SICK. I'm going to start asking people if they plan on having any vag babies anytime soon.Xander and Alana (but mostly Alana)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11062663528956791645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230137143430251965.post-61889514466340939932009-09-05T22:17:21.959-04:002009-09-05T22:17:21.959-04:00Seriously did laugh out loud!

I've been asked plenty of other rude questions such as if I was married to a black man when inquiring about a house to rent with my sweet son standing next to me, all my vagina kids were with me too. I asked the woman if I was would that affect my ability to rent her house. Rendered her speechless. Seriously people have no tact! These are our children with an AMAZING first country. I don't get it.

About the same number of people who have asked us soon after bringing our children home (daughter China, son Ethiopia both brought home under a year old) "Can he/she speak english?"

Ummm....are you referring to the fact that she doesn't look like she's starving to death?? Grow up people and catch up with the times....stop reading old National Geographic about the famines of the past. Yes, those issues are still present but they do not DEFINE Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the beginning of the world, the origin of culture...embrace it.<br /><br /><br />Okay...completely off the subject but that picture you posted?? I'm assuming that is a trash bag but it really looks like something else but I don't think they make them that big!!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058664383204901514noreply@blogger.com
