Whenever I see a child of a different race of the parent(s) I always want to ask if they adopted. Well today I got enough guts to do it. I don't know the etiquette. We all know how blunt and open I am so I couldn't care less if someone asked me, but I know a lot of people are more touchy in general. We were at a craft show and I saw a baby that didn't looked mixed. I started sweating and finally got up the nerve and asked. He was so sweet and his name was Emmett! He was adopted and the lady didn't seem to mind that I asked, but wasn't really excited to talk about it. He was adopted domestically and it was through Indianapolis but the birth mother picked her out.?? I am not sure if it was through a private company or not. I asked if it was through the state and she said yeah, well through Indianapolis. I'm not sure. I wanted to ask more questions, but I could tell she was annoyed. So we moved on.
I just wanted everyone to know that if you see me out, it is ok to approach me. haha
I love the name Emmett! Jon doesn't, unfortch.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever looked at any of those websites where hopeful adoptive parents post their bio and stuff so that pregnant women who want to give baby up for adoption can look through them and pick from the bunch?
I have gotten curious a few times and looked at them. They can make a pretty interesting read.
