We get this one from time to time, mostly from people who found out about the adoption second hand. Coworkers, family friends, nurses, etc. The first few times I was shocked too. Now I come back with something like, "yeah, because who'd want to keep an
ugly kid anyway? Lucky for us DD wasn't so cute when she was born, huh?"
The last nurse I said that to left the room and we never saw her again. DH almost swallowed his tongue he was so surprised.
Beauty: I would've smacked the crazy old lady. My Uncle is bad enough and he does really love DD and generally is great except for the continued "Our own" references. I don't know what I'd do if he did something like that. Have to pick my jaw up off the floor for starters.
