As adoptive parents we need to read into people's intentions a bit. I don't think that most people are trying to hurt our feelings or offend us, they don't understand the politically correct terminology. You said that she was pregnant. Was she simply asking if you filled out a registry so that you could compare who picked with high chair etc?

You know that you are your child's real mom. Your child will know it too.

Don't let anyone sap the joy out of the exciting trip that you are going on and the wonderful thing that is happening in your family.
