It's not a choic...I think it's everywhere.<br /><br />It's not a choice between Raphaela being adopted or you being a SMBC; there is also the possibility that Raphaela was "an accident." <br /><br />I think it's natural for people to be curious about other people's biological origins, but indeed it's too personal a question to ask someone you've just met. The most important thing is that you are a woman with a little girl, regardless of how she got to you. Later, if you get to know someone better, you can inquire about details.<br /><br />I recently ran into a gay acquaintance and his partner, and they had a baby in a stroller. I was DYING to know whether she was biologically related to one of them, but all I said was "oh, she's so cute! Mazal tov! What good news!" and moved on. Some questions will have to be left unanswered until I get to the next world and all is revealed. :-)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012646103361709320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488433810039574602.post-49422446569772672312011-09-22T02:02:06.134-07:002011-09-22T02:02:06.134-07:00Even if you had adopted, it's a very personal ...Even if you had adopted, it's a very personal question to ask someone you've just met. So I don't know if it's generational, Israeli, or just plain rude. I keep meaning to write alist of responses to personal questions of this nature so that I'm ready for them. Trouble is, ther's alsways a question you didn't think of...Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.com
