I definitely bristle at adoptive parents who are so "offended" by people asking questions or heaven forbid, using incorrect wording. I was one of those curious people once, who didn't know the lingo, who didn't know what was P.C. If someone is genuinely interested and polite, I will do my best to answer their questions and gently guide them with the correct terminology. It does no good to shame them or berate them. Grace is sufficient. Thank you Patrick! I definitely bristle at adoptive parents who are so “offended” by people asking questions or heaven forbid, using incorrect wording.
