Unfortunately, adoptive mothers have to grow thick skins to deal with all the "thick-skulled" people out there. Just yesterday, I was checking out at the grocery store and the cashier asked me if all 4 children were mine. I said "yes" and didn't think much about it until she said "you had twins twice?" I then said that we adopted two sets twice -- to which she responded, "that's what I meant about whether they were yours." I again repeated they ARE mine.
Even my pregnant SIL made a comment to me about how she will breastfeed and would never consider giving her baby formula in a bottle. Like I had a choice!!!

Sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and bear it or you might get arrested for assault!!
