"Did you get to pick his name?" "What town does his Mom live in?" People just have no idea. I've tried hard to let it roll off my shoulders, but I also feel like it's an opportunity to educate. I’m an adoptive mom and I’ve heard:
“What’s his Mom like?”
“Did you get to pick his name?”
“What town does his Mom live in?”

People just have no idea. I’ve tried hard to let it roll off my shoulders, but I also feel like it’s an opportunity to educate.

In a 24 hour period that many stupid, ignorant comments? Where are you hanging out girl? Even kids who don't have the ability to filter things yet don't behave this way. I'd also love to hear your responses and how Ruby reacted. People are really really ignorant and unaware of what they say... I have to hope that because if those people really knew what they were saying, we're in a heap of trouble for the future! Seriously? In a 24 hour period that many stupid, ignorant comments?
