I think the ideal thing would be for adoptive parents to use awkward/nosey conversations as a segway to teaching strangers a more appropriate way to ask, and strangers would have more of a open mind to hearing what is offensive and what is not. <br /><br />But I have a feeling in this case, it was just one too many nosey comments that broke the camel's back! I've certainly heard much more offensive comments and stories than this one. Or maybe the whole world should just read my blog and be better informed. ;)Brazenlillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959608921200375682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24266137.post-72624079869479083412010-07-29T13:35:52.519-07:002010-07-29T13:35:52.519-07:00I read it, and a part of me feels bad for the well...I read it, and a part of me feels bad for the well-intentioned but nosey-quite-uncouth lady. When a person has not experienced or studied or thought about deeply all of the implications and reasons and correct terminology, they very easily find themselves being rude, insensitive or very misguided. I worry desperately I will say the "wrong" thing with adoptive parents and find saying nothing is a safer route. Not sure if this is appropriate, but I guess its a bit like walking on eggshells. I don't know what you think Jen, but is is possible one side is too insensitive and other is too sensitive?Jane Seale Gramenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447124950387097040noreply@blogger.com
