I think we need to remember that forming a family via adoption is NOT the norm. Why WOULD anyone assume one way or the other about how your family was formed?
I wouldn't criticize someone because they asked about a medical issue that could have arised because of pregnancy if they don't know anything about me or my family - especially if my kids weren't present. We need to give people the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes I think that we can be too sensitive to questioning, even if the question is appropriate.
Now - don't get me started on how Wal-Mart cashiers ask intrusive questions in FRONT of my kids on a regular basis.
Two TOTALLY different situations, in my opinion.
