Like the others, if it was a medical situation, i would correct. Otherwise it would depend on the circumstance and if I wanted to get into a conversation.

I was getting a mamogram last year, and the patient questionairre asks about pregnancies that you have had...i checked 'none'. When reviewing my chart, and chit chatting with the technician, she mentioned "i see you don't have children". so I corrected her, and she apologied profusely for making that assumption. She has close family members who have adopted and still accidently jumped to conclusions...so its not just those ignorant of adoption.
