November is upon us, bringing with it the joys of pumpkin pie, cozy sweaters, and the delightful chaos of Black Friday shopping. But it’s also National Adoption Month—a time to celebrate the beautiful journeys of children finding their forever families. As someone who has two adopted children, along with a family history of adoption, I’ve grown accustomed to the well-meaning yet intrusive questions that come my way. While I typically respond with polite evasion—“Oh look, it’s time for my chin hair maintenance!”—I can’t help but fantasize about the replies I’d truly love to give.
- Can’t you have any children of your own? Nope! My uterus and fallopian tubes are a thing of the past, thanks to endometriosis. If you want to chat about my lady parts, I’m game!
- What happened to their real mom? Well, if you consider someone who wakes me up at 5 AM demanding breakfast and cartoons “real,” then yes! Are you also interested in discussing your “real” hair?
- How much did they cost? They were actually free! But the delivery fees were a killer. Speaking of expenses, how about that flashy SUV you drive?
- Do you know Angelina Jolie? Absolutely! Just yesterday, I texted her about our yoga pants meetup and happy hour at Sonic. Of course, I know other famous adoptive parents—who doesn’t?
- Why did you adopt from China instead of your own country? I adopted from my species, thank you very much. Now, when do we discuss your foreign-made shoes or your imported car?
- Now that you’ve adopted, do you think you’ll get pregnant? Fun question! Let’s keep the focus on my reproductive history—see my earlier point.
- Are you planning to tell them they’re adopted? It’ll depend on how clever they turn out to be. If they notice that two Caucasians don’t typically produce Asian kids, we’ll have the talk when they hit those delightful teenage years.
- You’re a saint for giving those poor children a good home. You bet I am! Gotta run now; here come the kids with my favorite drink.

In summary, while adoption may lead to a barrage of questions, it’s important to remember that each journey is unique and beautiful. Through humor and honesty, we can navigate these conversations with grace.
