This actually happened to my cousin - she adopted her daughter in January & she was apparently already pregnant at the time. I don't know whether she knew or not because it was so early; I'm sure if she did she didn't expect anything to come of the pregnancy because she's had multiple miscarriages - but she's doing well & is due in September.
I told her it was great because now when people tell me about "that person" they know of who got pregnant after adopting I can tell them, "Yeah, I know her. She really wishes people would stop talking about her..."
I find it a smidge insulting because the implication is that pregnancy & a biological child is the ultimate - that having adopted isn't "good enough" but that maybe you'll be one of the "lucky" ones who get pregnant afterward. I'm sure people don't mean it that way, but that's how it comes across.
