In our situation, it is very apparent that DD is adopted. She is AA we are CC. So in essence we deal with "questions" several times a week from random strangers. The most common question is "What country is she from?". I also have had the "How much?" , "Foster child?", "Why did bmom give her up?".......

In general, I just politely say that DD is our blessing, smile and walk away. If someone seems genuinely interested in adoption then I will give them our agencies site, or encourage them to research on their own. I am huge on.....the rights that DD has an an adopted child. Her info is her info alone, and random people do not have the right to "know" her story. I also think that while she is an infant it is good practice now to "deal" with all the questions and comments, because in a few short years, she will know exactly what people are talking about concerning how she came into our family.
