capncok97	theres always rude and ignorant people out there and maybe there just facinated by the fact that u guys did something thats not an every day thing (adopting) and there just too amazed to say anything civilized ......lol =)p Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kayla	People are just like that. Some people just have no respect and some don't realize that they are doing something wrong. It life and we have to deal with it. I would have let her and anyone else know that they should have been raised better and they should know better. Educate them on how saying things can hurt someone's feeling and maybe JUST MAYBE they'll get it! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

blah	It is natural for people to be curious of what they don't know. In their desire to know more, they sometimes temporarily forget social courtesies and will only realize that they have been rude when they recall the incident later. Analyzing the facts you have laid out, it seems that these adults you are referring to temporarily forgot that it is rude to ask such questions in front of your adopted sister. Look at the bright side: they might consider adopting children themselves, and hence, help more children like your sister have a brighter future. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

xoticklemepinkxo	idk...people are stupid. they never think before speaking...but they dont mean to be offensive. i dont know why they say that but people are soooooo dummb! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nashkin12	I think its time for you to become as bllunt as they are. just say with respect you are awfully ignorant. Or say no actaully my mother birthed her. You almost have to make them seem as dumb as the sound. I wish I could remember that saying somthing like you 'll forgive me for not answering you and I ll forgive you for asking. sorry you are dealing with this be well www.violetgumdrop.com a site for the young and the young at heart check us out Was this answer helpful to you?

Proud Mama of 4	People are ignorant. They don't know any better. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

scorch_22	Simple things amuse simple people.... Just say she's worth more than they'd ever be, and that shes your sister. Some people probably don't even realize they are being rude, they might really want to know, because they are thinking about adopting or are just curious... but yeah.. idiots all of em. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tina_tinker_bell	because alot of people don't think before they speak. im sorry people are that rude to you about that i think its a wonderful thing your family has done for that little girl and if there was more people like that then th eworld would be a better place. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bigred	dumb questions = dumb responses. "did you adopt her?" = no, we cloned her or no, the space ship left her behind. "how much did she cost?" = the Bible says the blood of Jesus and she has been paid in full. (not a dumb response but a true one) Come up with some unique answers to let them know their questions are unwanted and RUDE. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Critty	I'm sorry both you and your sister have to experience such rudeness. I would give them a super icy stare and coldly ask them "Why would you ask me that?". Because really - why would they ask you that?! Just stare at them after that like they have two heads until the slink away, and if they keep asking, just walk away. I'm sick of people excusing the rudeness and nosiness - especially when it hurts children. Getting off my soapbox now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

wildmick21	A good reason why more and more people avoid large public places in my opinion. Including myself. I would urge you - should you continue to experience this behavior - to give it right back and let the person know how ridiculous the question is. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sunshine	Because there are all kinds of people in the world and rude people annoy me like their better than anyone else and we are all the same just think differently Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥ SeXy.SeXy ♥	Yea, that is rude. Who asks how much an innocent child costs??? But that's because more than half of the stupid a$s people in the world are ignorant and I'm just assuming you live in the US? Lmao. Like someone else said... that little girl is lucky to have you and your family. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jerseymaya	i dont know but i think its wrong Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fluffster1	People can be idiots. They seem to have no filter between their brain and their mouth. It's normal to be curious about things that are new to you, but there are better ways and better times to ask such questions. If people continue with these rude questions, I would point out very bluntly that they are being rude. Hopefully that will shut them up. Hope it gets better! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

~~Penny~~	~ ignorance, lack of manners, make people ask questions and the most inappropriate times,,,,,if these are strangers just comming up to you and asking,,,,tell them straight out that they are being rude and walk away,,,if this is friends and family,,mabey they truley would like to know more about your sisters heritage but just dont know how to ask,,,so they think asking a general question will open the conversation,,,,,, Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ham8888888888	Some people are just plain ignorant. It's a fact of life. But there are a lot of decent people out there too, so don't give up on humans. Congratulations on your adopted sister. I've heard a lot of red tape and time is involved in such a process. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ladiesman	peaple are like that becausea there dadies didnt teach them some manners Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

De	good questions. My son is adopted and I get what was wrong with the birth mother or was he born addicted to drugs etc. Just think we need to pray for them Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*SalUK**	No idea hun - but I know where you are coming from. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

citygirl	Because they have personal issues and they take them out on other people and they learned to act this way from a generation of relatives that acted that way your children act the way they see you act if you are rude your children act rude. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Courtney B	they are rude because they do not understand why somebody would want to devote their live to a child that is not biologically there's. It is wrong and I understand my dad adopted me when I was a year old. after him and my mother got married. They always asked my dad questions like she doesn't look like you she must take after her mom, and she is so light skinned compared to you and your wife is she yours. He is Hispanic. And I am very white so you see. Just make your sister feel loved and make sure she knows that no matter what she is you sister and nothing could change that. Good luck Hun. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mimahairball48	and its also a shame that these are the people raising our next generation. no wonder we have so many problems. your sister is lucky to have you. keep up the good work sis Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Casey_Babiii_x3	because they don't think of other peoples feelings, only theirs and themselves.just ignore them or say "yes" cuz it confuses them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Angela R	Both of my children were adopted from korea, and we get a lot of the same questions. Sometimes you can tell that people just don't know how to phrase things right like saying "where do you 'get' him from?", but we've also gotten a lot of inappropriate questions comments, especially when our kids are right there. Sometimes I think people just don't think before they speak! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Buzzy	There are some people that don't realize they are being rude by asking these questions, so don't take it personally. You know the old expression: "Ignorance is bliss!" It's also like asking people, "How much do you earn?" I'll bet your sister is cute! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

princessbrittany_21	some people don't know how to act right, weather from not lerning or not caring, i know there are some people at my school who have no respect of anyone else but themselfs or there friends Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SgtMoto	Some people are just too curious for their own good. All they care about are their needs and forget about how their questions affect others. I don;t even know they are being rude. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Houdini	People mock what they do not understand Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

marianne	People are rude because their parents didn't teach them any better. The best response is, "That's actually a very rude question, but there's no price on the amount of love we have for her." Do not be afraid to say that they are being impolite. Just be sure to do it with a smile and in a respectful voice. It's funny how some people think just because an adopted child is from China, but is 6 years old, that she probably doesn't understand English, although being raised in an English speaking household. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Alyssa's mommy	Social etiquette is a thing of the past it seems. Just respond with something like "I would appreciate if you didn't talk about my sister like she is not here." or just walk away. Remind your sister that she is loved and many people are just ignorant. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
