I actually had a great grandmother ...perfectly put!<br />I actually had a great grandmother who would forget that we weren't Biologically related and tell me that my son takes after uncle Bill or looks like my cousin Patrick... We would just start busting up laughing and she would say well family's just family and you don't think of them any different and to her it was. She was the best G. G. She taught handicapped children for 45 years and was just the best!The Fifield Kail Family!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02310792654672742155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908438549613248511.post-57148860637212291552010-06-14T11:02:35.371-07:002010-06-14T11:02:35.371-07:00We adopted twins.....I think my favorite one I hea...We adopted twins.....I think my favorite one I hear is "oh did you get to choose a boy and a girl" -- you have no idea how much I want to say to these people "yep went to the girl store and said she looks cute we will take her and then went to the boy store and did the same" really people TWINS....one womb, two eggs, two sperm...no store, no choice of gender....period. I usually answer with a smile and walk away as they are with me but one day...soon I will grow some big ones and say what I really want to say when my kids are out of ear shot. <br /><br />And the first time I hear that one or both of my children look like me I will laugh in the person's face....they are obviously Asian, I am a pasty white American -- but I see it coming.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080566076716142438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908438549613248511.post-853270082744275182010-05-26T08:32:57.039-07:002010-05-26T08:32:57.039-07:00I clicked a link, that took me to a link, that led...I clicked a link, that took me to a link, that led me to you. (Wish I could remember exactly how I got here, but I'm glad I did, none the less.)<br /><br />I, too, am an adoptive parent and my daughter is from China. While I've had many, many of the same asinine questions, mine grow deeper and darker because we chose international adoption. Someone with rather large cajones accused me of leaving homeless children in the US with our "choice." I told her right then and there it was a nice foreign car she was driving and way to shut out our Detroit auto workers. She was mad. I smiled. We both went our own ways. <br /><br />Tolerance is something I'm practicing, but have been failing at lately, especially with a rash of asshattery at my kiddo's school.<br /><br />I think you were poignant in your responses and hit the nail head on. I'll be back to see what else you have going on 'round here.<br /><br />Be well...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908438549613248511.post-4606141215594289662010-05-21T09:30:31.876-07:002010-05-21T09:30:31.876-07:00Your attitude is awesome.
