a healing adoptee

It made me feel angry, because it felt like they thought I was lying. My grandma was rushed to the hospital and when I got there she was in the emergancy room. Well anyway, when I asked to go back there, they looked at me funny. so i simply said "i'm adopted". I always hate that people can be so dimissive or rude when it comes to my adoption. But i have to try to look past it. |

Yikes. I have so many stories about this it isn't funny. I'm Asian and my little sis is bi-racial and our father is white. One day we were sitting on the subway and this old woman leans over to my father and whispers "Mister, I think your wife is cheating on you!"
When I was little this really bugged me because I didn't understand the way adults thought, but now it kind of amuses me. I carry ID that proves I'm related to my realitives and that's usually enough to get people to back off. |

I have twins that are adopted and a little girl that is my biological child. The twins are beautiful brown Brazilian babies. My biological child's father was my first husband. I am now expecting with my second husband's child. We went to the dentist today. And he asked "what do you think your sister will look like?" She said "I don't know". He responded "I bet she will look like you". She said "Brothers and sisters don't have to look alike. She will probably look like my mom". I guess at 6 she told him.
We are proud to be a unique family and we don't take offense to other's ignorance. If we have a chance to educate we do. Life is too short to get offended. |

Around where I live bi-racial biological children are common, but I've wondered if people may at times think that when a white mom has an African-American baby for instance if they assume it's adopted...These kids will experience the same things, but they are blood children.... |

My son is biracial (and he's mine, lol) and people have asked me if I adopted him. I was with my MIL in Boston Market one day and the lady assumed we weren't together, lol. We were like, UM HELLO. It is what it is, people are always going to ask questions or think different things if it's not on their "normal radar" I guess.. |
