I know that I will be asked this question sometime during the life of my child.

I hope that when the question is asked I have the composure and ability to answer the question as well as it was on “Heroes” last night.  If you don’t watch the show, I won’t bore you with character and plot description, but suffice to say it is a great show.  Anyway, Claire asks her adoptive father (who didn’t want her initially, but was forced into the adoption by the “company”) who her “real” parents are..

He says:

“We are your real parents.  We don’t know who you’re biological parents are.  You may not have grown in your mother’s belly, but you grew in both of our hearts.”.

I thought that was a great response. Especially considering it came from Hollywood, who is notorious for fouling this particular topic up..

SO, I add more item in which Heroes desrves kudos for.  They have dealt with Claire’s adoption and how she deals with it VERY well.

The lesson?  If you see an adoptive couple with a child, what question should you never ever ask ?

“Who are her/his real parents?”   First off, if you need to ask that question, it is not likely any of your business… Secondly, you are looking at her/his real parents..
