We don't talk about their adoption story to new friends/acquaintances - unless it comes up in some specific way. This was our children's choice. They simply don't want to always be known as the "adopted kids" or the "kids from Russia". I don't feel guilty if people find out later and wonder why I didn't tell them. Do I feel lied to if they had a C-section and I didn't know? The details of a child and how they came into a family are not a banner I feel I must wave every day. We don't hide it and if my kids want to tell someone or if someone says something that needs an answer that includes adoption - then I go for it, but otherwise - it is their story to tell.
