I will be the first to admit that certain questions pertaining to adoption make great blog fodder.
I'm at the point where after months of being deluged with questions, I got tired of making gentle corrections and/or spilling my heart out regarding my intentions. Since I tend to be snarky most of the time, I just give these answers now.
Q: Why are you adopting?
A: For the 10k tax credit.
Q: Where are you buying your baby?
A: Costco. They sell everything there now. But I'm going to the warehouse in Uzbekistan.
Q: How much will your baby cost?
A: With or without the coupon?
Q: What if she's 'not right' or something's wrong with her?
A: She'll blend right in with me.
I'm sure you all have tons of Qs and As as well. Please share!

Q. How come you cant have your own kids?
A. Because I was born a man ( please don't tell my hubby )
Q. How can you afford this? A. I've been turning tricks on the weekend.
Q. Why don't you adopt from Canada or the US?
A. Ethiopia sounds cooler.
Q: So you're adopting, is this a "do good" thing or can you not have real kids?
A: There are so many things wrong with what you just said I don't even know where to start...
That is too funny!! I am going to have to steal the coupon one...I get asked that every freakin day:-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I got on yours and saw the other Jocelyn's blog and about fell over...my name is far and few between and then I find one that is single and adopting from Africa too!
**snicker!**
Oh I needed that.
Q: Ethiopia, hey? You wanna be like Angelina Jolie?
A: Yeah, well, she doesn't reply to my fan mail, so I thought this might help get my foot in the door.
Q: "If you adopt more than one child, do you get a discount on the second one?"
A: "I'm speechless".
Q: (asked for the bazillionth time and when I was thisclose to tears on a daily basis) "so, have you gotten a referral yet?"
A: Yes, and I told everyone except you.
Q: "Aren't you worried the baby will have AIDS?"
A: No, I know my child will be tested for HIV several times. How many times have you been tested?
Q- There are so many children here that need families.
A- Absolutely, why don't you adopt one of them and my daughter and your child can then play together.
I really needed to laugh today, Thank you ALL!!!
