To me, this is just one of the things I have to deal with. Are you overreacting? Maybe not for you. Now that I have been an adoptive parent for almost 10 years, comments like that don't grate as much. I don't like them, but have learned to gently correct people. I don't think comments about the 'real mom and dad' ever go away, it's just such an simple connection for those outside of the immediate adoption community to make. I have read that a sense of entitlement comes into play when this type of situation pops up. In my heart, I know that I am the real mom,; no matter how many boneheaded comments I get about my kids and theirbirthparents.
