I LOVE Regina's response!!
Here is how I would handle the comments:
(1) oh you should have waited you would have got your own child
"And lose out on being the mother to the BEST kid in the world?? Are you kidding me?? I couldn't have MADE a better kid."
(2) or enquire about your fertility status?
"If it hasn't happened in seven years, I think it's safe to say that it ain't gonna happen."
What's important is not WHAT you say but your demeanor in how you handle it. First of all, it is VERY important that you react w/full confidence in your decision, especially if the comment is made in front of your child. You are setting the tone for how he/she will handle nosey comments in the future. And, if you show how positively you view the adoption, most people will follow suit. Only real jerks are going to go down the "don't you have regrets" road when you are so clearly in love w/your kid.
