[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I'm totally surprised that people in this area ask these kinds of questions. My cousin and her partner are in a much smaller midwestern metro area and their son is adopted (international) - no one asks them this stuff. Who asks someone how their kids were conceived??? Holy cow. Maybe midwesterners are more polite? Anyway, as an adopted person I've gotten similar kinds of rude questions my whole life (do you know who your "real" mom is?) and I'm with the "blank stare" or "why do you ask" posters. [/quote]

PP here.  I think the diversity in the DC metro area actually leads to more people having questions.  And, unless people are interacting with a really narrow segment of orthodox liberals, I'd be surprised if they aren't getting some questions-they may just think the questions aren't a big deal/worth repeating.

The groups I tend to get questions from include:

medical professionals (this is really weird to me)
older gay folks
religious conservatives
immigrants from very conservative countries
random people at the playground
