I love talking about adoption. I tell total strangers about his adoption all the time. Right after they tell me how adorable he is I say, "Yes he is my miracle unexpected adoption. We weren't planning to have kids at all. Told DSS that we wanted to do foster care for teens. They gave us an eleven month old baby boy and six weeks later changed his goal to adoption. In fact, he's so fantastic that we're doing the paperwork for adoption number two."

For me he really is such a great blessing that I could talk about his adoption all day.

I do appreciate your comments about it eventually embarrassing him - or at least opening up the conversation with him to see how he feels about it. For now (he's three) I feel that being open and openly celebrating his adoption will encourage him to feel positive about it.
