It is completely obvious that Kiran is adopted as I am fair as they come and he is a beautiful golden brown, black hair dark eyes. I usually mosey up to the suspected adoptive parent and compliment their child. Other times I may offer a sniglet about my own adoption to "out" myself first, but it usually only takes a mere glance at myself and Ki for them to dish. I have never had to go beyond these measures. Just strike up a conversation and let it come out naturally. Sometimes I have lovely chats with other APs without either of us verbally confirming that we are an adotpive family. We just know and don't feel the *need* to say it.

It just dawned on me that this is probably the reason that I don't have to deal with rude folks and comments. It's so obvious that peeps just don't *need* to say anything to validate their suspicion. *hehe*
