LOL Barksum! I'm so glad to find someone else that can't figure out how to answer the saint comments LOL. What I would like to say and what I do say are never the same. I say the same thing you do, that we are the lucky ones. What I would LIKE to say is "Why, you think only a saint could love her?" or how about "Yes, I'm sure YOUR parents were saints to" and then smile real evil like, lol.
I've got the "you've done miracles with her" comments down pat. Allie was never supposed to be able to hold her own head up but she's using a walker right now. I just laugh and tell people that Allie did all the hard work, all we did was fall in love with her.
The worst one I heard was from my neighbor and she said it not once but twice! When Allie first went up for adoption she said "You're not going to adopt her are you??? She's so much work!". And then when my oldest daughter went up for adoption she said "You're not going to adopt her are you??? She's so old!". I'm sure you are thinking right now the exact words I wanted to say LOL. I just said in both cases "Yes, we are. We love her."
I too hope that some of these people go home and smack their heads thinking "I can't believe I said that!" LOL
