I found myself sighing with relief when I read the 10 questions article. I know I would never ask a question like that to any parent.
A girlfriend of mine, who is now divorced, has three children with her ex-husband. He is Korean and she is white. All of her children are gorgeous and remarkably different in their beauty. A woman at a bbq found it completely alright to comment on this and say something like, "Are they all yours?" and even went so far as to imply infidelity. I was glaring DAGGERS at this lady. I just have to wonder what the hell is wrong with people !
There was recently an article in Parenting magazine where a woman was sharing her experiences with people asking her where she "got" her daughter. She is the girl's biological mother, however, mom is Caucasian & dad is Korean. It was really interesting. I think she eventually decided on using the response "From my uterus."
