I too am sorry that people can be soo rude! Here is the best response to that statement that I have heard yet.. it was posted on one of the boards..

Someone commented the same thing to a woman in the process of adopting internationally and her reply was this::
*OMG!!! (happily) Thats sooo wonderful that you are also adopting!!!! (practically jumping up and down)
*Response was "ummm no, we arent adopting" with a funny unsure and uncomfortable look on their face.
*OH, IM SOO SORRY, i thought that when you said you were concerned there were so many unwanted babies in this country with no homes that you were actually doing something about it!
I believe the questioner was left dumbfounded!
This isnt verbatim of the conversation but you get the gist... I LOVE it and have filed it in the back of my head, just waiting to be able to throw it out there someday!
