I’m normally pretty cool when it comes to questions about our family. It’s not typical to see a family like ours and I totally understand that. But when it comes to invasive questions, if you keep pushing and your nosiness makes my kids uncomfortable or feel less than in any sort of way, the “mama bear” definitely comes out. Yes, they are all ours. END OF STORY. The thing is, I don’t have to share with every single stranger how my family came to be. I don’t need to tell people that some of our children are biological and that some are adopted. I especially don’t need to continue to answer pushy questions that are framed negatively and could make my children feel uncomfortable or that they are somehow less than because they are adopted. No mam, not today. We love talking about adoption and I’m PROUD and HONORED that our family is bonded through love and choice not only DNA, but not everyone is entitled to information about our family. My kids are human beings not possessions and people shouldn’t talk about them as if they aren’t standing right there listening. 🤷🏻‍♀️ - End Rant #quads #quadruplets #multiples #adoption #fostercare #siblings #bigfamily #largefamily #momhumor #motherhood
