That would be much more appropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1590082 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:01:59 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1590082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: I agree. I think it is inappropriate unless you are in an actual discussion about adoption with someone that is not a stranger. A better lead into is "Did you choose domestic or international adoption." If the answer is international, then I think you can ask "What country?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1590077 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:00:54 +0000 spaniellove 1590077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great analogy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1590072 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:59:19 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1590072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this yesterday too. This is great.<br /> A niece and nephew of mine are a different race than me and we take them out often. I've never gotten questioned, but I do get the stare sometimes. So my favorite is when he is just staring at her chest. Funny how accurate it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1590069 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:58:00 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1590069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty awesome...although "where did your daughter come from?" also sounds like a landmine to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1590036 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:49:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1590036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha that was funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1589895 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:07:41 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1589895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1589848 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:52:19 +0000 Mrs. Train 1589848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty funny, I think I have had some form of all of those questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1587935 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 06:34:12 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1587935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg i loved this!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1587249 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 18:45:37 +0000 mrsbookworm 1587249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome link! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1587246 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 18:44:37 +0000 mrsbookworm 1587246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome article! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1587240 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 18:41:22 +0000 loveletter 1587240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is perfect and hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1586713 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:38:25 +0000 Adira 1586713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, that's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1586700 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:34:49 +0000 matador84 1586700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So funny...and so sad people actually ask those things!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-advice-about-asking-questions-to-adoptive-parents#post-1586663 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:27:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1586663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if you've seen this little video from Rage against the minivan, but it is so spot-on that I had to share.</p> <p><a href="http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2014/04/if-you-wouldnt-say-it-about-boob-job.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2014/04/if-you-wouldnt-say-it-about-boob-job.html</a> </p>
