anyone has ever said to you about adoption?
I'm just curious, not trying to be negative. As a child, the one thing that always drove me crazy is that when I told people I was adopted they would say 'No WAY!' like I'd just told them I had six toes or something. I remember having to insist that I was and it often took a long time to convince people!
As an adult, I've run into a fair amount of people (some who know that I was adopted and adopted a child) who explain that they would never adopt because it wouldn't be the same or you don't know what kind of freak you're going to get.
What amuses me most about that one is that the more people insist on a biological child, the less likely their gene pool is anything to write home about!
Have you heard anything like this?
Does it trouble you?
I have to say that it largely amuses me but can be annoying.
