Stahlke Adoption

Getting Some Space

Even the most well-meaning people can ask too many questions at inappropriate times. Every adoptive parent figures out responses, both ones they use and others they'd like to use. If someone asks me how much our children cost, I sometimes respond, "How much did you pay your ob/gyn and the hospital when your baby was born?"

But a more polite response to most questions, which immediately communicates, is the simple statement:

"It's complicated."
