[quote=Anonymous]OP here - because being adopted isn't in her mind the most important initial or "defining" thing someone should know about her and we believe it's her story to tell or not more than ours and her decision on if or when she wants to share any part of it to anyone we've just met. The best gift we can give her (in this situation) is the tools to determine if or when or how to share something personal. Adoption seems like an oddity/curiousity to some and that's not who she is, especially at an age when she just wants to be like everyone else. Just because someone wants to start a discussion about it doesn't mean she (or we) need to go along with it. There are a hundred other things we would like to share about our DD. We're looking for ways to move away from personal questions. [/quote]
