Nope...we have people whom we have known casually for years who don't know our son is adopted. It's just not everyone's business. We don't hide it, but we don't tell everyone.
As for strangers who comment on him looking like one of us, we usually say, "Thanks." Then we laugh about it privately later.
Because we adopted him at 10 months of age, literally everyone we knew was aware of it when he was small. But since then we have moved to another town, changed jobs, etc. So many people only knew us as an already existing family. I think that was about when we just stopped sharing it unless there was a reason the person needed to know or if we were exceptionally close.
