Most of my friend's "forget" about my son's adoption sometimes, too. I think it's GREAT because that means they see him as my son, not as my "adopted" son.<br /> <br /> Take care,<br /> <br /> - Faith Thanks for the comment — especially the one from the teacher’s perspective. Most of my friend’s “forget” about my son’s adoption sometimes, too. I think it’s GREAT because that means they see him as my son, not as my “adopted” son.

Take care,

My daughter will start school sometime this year at the school where I teach....so I think most staff will already know she's adopted (although people who know forget all the time). It'll be interesting if it ever come up as a "reason" for anything!! As I teacher, I've had parents tell me and parents not, and it's never made a lick of difference--we don't do much in the way of genetics or family trees in preschool! What a timely topic!
