Wow!! I've heard of stupid before, but "little adoptees"???? WOW!!
Ok, now that that's out of my system, I think we are following a similiar path--for the first 6 months or so, we practically ran down the street with signs reading "we adopted Megan!! Isn't she perfect??" but now, while we don't avoid it, we don't feel the need to discuss it with strangers in line at the grocery store.
She looks a LOT like my husband, so we do get comments (what redhead doesn't??)--but we usually laugh, say "thanks" or something to that effect. It took me awhile to learn that people USUALLY won't press the issue if I ignore their question about where she gets her hair from, etc. and just carry on with whatever small talk we are making.
It's just their way of saying how pretty she is! (or at least that's how I take it)
We definitely plan on make M "in-charge" of her story when she's old enough to verbalize it/understand a little more about it.
