[quote=Anonymous]I think that there are so many adopted kids now, that that is why people assume your child is adopted. But I never ask people "adoption" type of questions. I think that is personal and private, and really only something I think someone who did the adopting should bring up, if they even wanted to. Anyways, I think you shoudl talk to your brother and SIL, and see what they do/how they feel. I think you should come up with a simple one or 2 sentence answer for you and your DD. Like tell DD to say "I look just like daddy" or something like that. And you need to try to develop a thicker skin about it, and learn to brush it off, for the sake of your DD. Is she sees you're not letting it affect you, then she will start to not worry about it also.[/quote]
