Depending on how a question about our children is presented to me, I sometimes answer with "we are a family thru adoption." Sometimes people are intrigued by adoption or may be considering adopting themselves and I take the opportunity to educate. I've had lots of folks say to me "I've always wanted to adopt".

If I think someone is being rude or nosy (because my kids don't look like me), I answer "these are my children" and leave it at that.
