For a very long time I carried some business cards with me everyplace that simply stated--"My beautiful children are being adopted by me from the Foster Care system. I have not been their mother for very long. If you have any questions please feel free to call me after 8:00 pm and I would be happy to talk with you."
This card did help to some extent but there have been so many situation that I have been completely angry over. Once in the Doctors office I was talking with the receiptionist about the last name being changed because the adoption had finalized. A woman in the waiting room asked me several questions RIGHT in front of our five year old..... and then went on to say things like--We have thought about adopting from the Foster Care system but heard the kids are really messed up!
I just looked at her and said--Yes they can be when they overhear comments like the one you just made.
The biz cards did help me very much and I did have a few calls from people who were actually interested......
