if it were to a medical person, i'd correct her, otherwise maybe not. my dd and i resemble eachother to the point that if you didn't know us, you would assume i gave birth to her. sometimes people comment how much we look alike and assume i birthed her. we just laugh and say thank you. in times like that, i don't think i do her a disservice by not pointing out she is adopted, i think i am doing her a service by not pointing out her private business to strangers. i think there are times to dicuss adoption and educate people, and there are times to just protect your child's privacy. we are a big pro adoption family. we teach our children to be proud of how they came to be a part of this family. i don't want them to be embarrased that they are adopted....but at teh same time, we don't need to tell everyone we meet. except eli for some reason...he tells everyone! just last week a lady said good morning to eli, and he responded, "i'm adopted from guatemala!" lol...of course he did.
