Well, the comments have never botherer me too much. Most of the time people just thought they were being so "funny". A man asked my husband and me at church one time, if we didn't know what was causing that, and dh didn't bat an eye when he replied, "Yep, that's why we keep having them." I was soooo embarrassed, lol. I think the thought of comments bother's me more then the actual comments. And also, I don't want to have to diffrientiate between my bio's and adopted. I think it would bother me if I were adopted and my mother went around telling everyone I was. But if I feel defensive I might be tempted to say, "they're adopted". I guess I'll just have to be prepared to "deal with it", meaning negative comments.

We bought a 15 passenger van and took out the last seat for groceries and such. They can also bring a friend or a cousin along without a problem.
We have the older 3 girls in one room with a set of bunkbeds and a twin. The younger 3 girls are in another with the same set up. Our son is alone. They are rarely in their rooms and have a separate play room for their toys. They do all play house together and set up their rooms as apartments.
As far as too many, we are adjusting to this addition but I don't think we are done yet. Probably 1 or 2 more boys b/c my DH insists it is not fair for our son to have his own room. LOL
