In the three years since we became a multicultural family through adoption, I've had this conversation many times (minus the fertility comments and the umm, *kind* offer of breastmilk). The goofiest comment besides "When are you planning to tell her she's adopted?" was "Do you think she'll have an accent when she grows up?" For real. <br /><br />Praying for you as you fill out all that lovely paperwork!<br />NancyPeter and Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329947206142706470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554498168264477884.post-78035587748363330942011-02-15T07:18:41.239-05:002011-02-15T07:18:41.239-05:00Me too.

My husband and daughter ran a 5k this weekend, and afterwards one of the organizers gave us a couple of gallons of leftover quartered oranges? clementines?

I think my favourite line is:<br /><br /><i>The none-of-your-business tribe and she speaks mumble-drool.</i> <br /><br />Did you raise your eyebrows, Pentimento, when it ended with the promise of organic coffee? =P <br /><br />I'm so sorry about your mother--but even more sorry (and I hope you don't find this too rotten of me) about the paperwork. She is a few steps closer to Heaven and is surrounded by so much love, while bureaucratic paperwork often seems like one of Old Nick's greatest inventions. <br /><br />PS--Captcha is "jumberop," which is exactly how I say "jump rope" when I have a cold. =PEnbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554498168264477884.post-75170725492872881392011-02-11T16:50:08.771-05:002011-02-11T16:50:08.771-05:00Thank you SO MUCH, Sally and Lissla!Thank you SO MUCH, Sally and Lissla!Pentimentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161146891505294679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554498168264477884.post-91687335762699643542011-02-11T16:44:26.470-05:002011-02-11T16:44:26.470-05:00Your adoption process has been one of my standard ...Your adoption process has been one of my standard Mass intentions for ages (and look: I got you paperwork!).
