I love to talk about our adoption experience with friends, family and others if they seem genuinely interested in a positive way. DS is AA and we are CC and I am really surprised how infrequently we are asked questions. I pretty much never get any questions when just me and DS are out together. We get questions sometimes when all three of us are out though. So far we haven't had any negative experiences.
A few distant relatives have tried to dig for info about his BMom and I always say, "She's great. We love her." and leave it at that. One woman asked if DS was from foster care, but it turns at that she was a foster child herself and was very positive toward us.
I think if people are digging for info in a nosy, judgemental way then the less they know the better. When DS gets older I want him to decide who he shares his story with.
