[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PPs. As an adoptive parent, there will be many opportunities for people to ask questions that you don't want to or, as in this case, shouldn't answer. Now is a good time to think about what you will say and practice it. It may seem harmless to you at this point to share, but people will talk and kids will hear. Imagine your child in school when they are talking about families and some kid blurts out to the entire class that your child is the product of a rape. Or even worse, when they tease your child about it in middle school. There are enough adoption related issues you won't have a choice but to deal with. Do yourself and your child a favor and keep this information to yourself until your child is an adult and you share it with him. Its easy enough to say that the birth mother didn't feel capable of caring for a child right now and you weren't given any information about the birth father. Congratulations to you. [/quote]
