Well we adopted two children at one time that were 4 months apart. The question I get is "are they close age?"or twins?" One has blonde hair and is short and stocky and the other is tall and thin with brown hair. So they really don't look a like. So I always respond with "no they are not twins they are 4 months a part." People always stop and have that look on there face "how she do it? is that physically possible?" Then as they are thinking about it, I tell them very proudly we adopted two children.
And then the "real" dumb questions "were they brothers before you adopted them?" 4 months didn't work for a natural birth it won't work anywhere. I just reply "they are brothers now" And most people firgure out the dumb questions .... and either change subject or apologize or ask about adoptions.
I enjoy talking about it to anyone who will listen. Being up front with people really opens people up or shuts them up.
Now that they are 4.5, they tell people they were born in Ukraine.
