I haven't adopted yet but I do have an adopted sister and have heard the "well, you're not her real sister" comment. If you can deadpan, I usually say with a completely straight face "Real? No, I'm completely animatronic, but aren't I lifelike?"
The people who get it generally feel bad for saying something stupid, and the ones who don't were never going to figure it out anyway.
