It's funny with all the people who know about my DD's adoption only 3 have asked me why we adopted, all aquaintances (a co-worker, my hairdresser, and a woman I knew vaguely in HS who is friends with the mother of one of DD's friends). It was the HS acquaintance who was the only one that I thought was out of line (she asked a bunch of inappropriate questions, while telling me and DH waay too much about her kids' conception and her reproductive issues).

I suppose everyone else just assumes we're infertile (technically we are, but it's a little less straightforward than that). When we announced we were adopting via letter to all our friends and family, we included a list of frequently asked questions, and basically said "There are lots of ways to create a family and adoption is the way we choose to create ours."
