We are also a multiracial family and our sons are 5 months apart, so for the most part, I guess it's pretty obvious.
If it wasn't obvious, hmmmm...I think I would probably be pretty guarded unless the situation was a warm and open one, in which I felt comfortable. And not for one second because I am not proud of my sons' adoptions, because we are so proud! Sometimes I just want to go to the grocery store in peace though.
More like I wouldn't share if I had a V-birth or a C-section kind of a thing. We have built our family through the miracle of adoption, but I don't feel the need to share that with everyone.
I don't think there is a right or wrong answer, everyone feels differently...
P.S. I just went back and read how people answer when they get comments on cuteness. We get that a lot and I always just smile and say, "Thank you...they are just as sweet" or something like that. We also get "Wow - you have your hands full!" a lot and I just smile and say, "You should see my heart."

Our children are not ours because they share our genes...they are ours because we have had the audacity to envision them and hope for them.
That, at the end of the day...or long sleepless night, is how love really works. - Unknown
