One of the worst things people ask adoptive parents is How much did you pay for your child? It's almost like they think we went to a store and picked them out. My response would probably be How much did you pay for yours? They will say that they did not have to. But, if you give birth to a child, there is a cost. Your insurance probably covers the brunt of it. So, my answer would be Similar to the costs you encurr during pregnancy. Only ours are in the form of fees to cover expenses. Someone has to take care of the child.
Another one would be, Where is their real parents? Or why did their real parents get rid of them? Then, we have to let them know that we are the real parents, if you are asking about the birth parents, do the research. There are many reasons. Why to people in America throw their babies in the garbage?
Usually, they asked these things in front of the children. My children are old enough to understand the questions. Then you have to explain things to them.
