Fran, one of my best friends is a SAHM and is in a lot of play groups and she says she is TIRED of all the labor and delivery talk (and she has given birth to three kids). She says every woman tries to "one up" each other and all pretended like they nearly died during delivery (for some reason it cracked me up).
I have a couple of my best friends coming over today with their kids (I knew them before adopting) and I have to say that it really is no big deal that DD was adopted (in fact, they ask me for parenting advice sometimes and for some reason that feels weird...I know it shouldn't!!).
I can say that sometimes I still find it hard to hear women talk about pg/delivery, etc. I always say that I would have loved to given birth to DD (and exactly my DD, kwim?). But we all know how "cool" adoption is now, so you may be the superstar of a playgroup (haha!).
Go for it! You gotta show those darlings off in as many venues as possible!!! (btw, the moms of multiples is a great group...one of my friends who adopted twins loves it!).
