Biological vs. Adopted

So I have been contemplating an issue. I belong to several adoption/infertility boards and I came across a post that really hit home.

Hypotetically speaking lets say we are placed with a son or daughter. I'm at the store buying an adorable outfit for my child. The cashier strikes up a conversation with me and says "oh for a new little one", what should my response be?

A. Yes for my adopted son/daughter

B. Yes for my son/daughter

Well if you answered B. you are correct. Now I'm not saying I am planning on hiding my child's adoption because that is furthest from the truth, but I honestly don't think this is something that needs to be shared with the entire world. If we would adopt a child of another race it would be obvious he or she is adopted so that wouldn't even need to be brought up. Our son or daughter will be our child whether it's through birth or adoption and that's all anyone needs to know. As our child grows older I firmly believe it is up to them whether or not they want to share their adoption story. If they aren't comfortable sharing it with others then we're not either.

So as you may be able to tell I have been reading up on adoption. I can honestly say I have learned a lot since we first started this process.

We are nearing 8 1/2 months now. I can't believe how fast time is just flying by. The weather is really changing, sure was cool out this morning. I think we went straight from hot summer days to cool fall days. At least for this week anyway, next week could be a whole different story. That's IOWA weather I guess.
