Some people's ignorance never fails to amaze me. I try to not dwell on it, but some things just irk me to no end!! GRRRR!
I have a beautiful adopted son, who happens to be bi-racial. I was blessed in that I got to be the birth coach for the biological Mother, & brought the baby home as an infant.
Now, I don't mind the idiotic questions about my lack of fertility, etc. I can't bear children. It's a fact I live with, & have made peace with.
But what gets me is the people who ask, "Well, do you love him as much as you would a 'real' child of your own?" Or the ones who told me I'm being selfish & irresponsible to adopt a 'colored child', when I'm "white". "How will you ever be able to make him proud of his black heritage?!"----stuff like that.
Anyway---he'll be 9 in a few days, & I think we're doing just fine! LOL! But I worry about him, & how people's ignorance hurts him.
That's my story....
Back to my original question!
Anyone with "stupid question/remark" stories?
Peace...
