Why China?

I love the questions people think they have the right to ask or the comments they feel justified to ask. Keep your eye on this post, because I am certain I will be adding to the list as time goes on.

Whenever I am asked any question, I give my reply based on who the person is and how much information I feel they deserve or need to know.

Q: Why China?

A: Why not? We chose China, because that is where our son was born and currently lives.

Q: Why international?

A: I am so aware of all the kids right here in the U.S. that need homes. I am also aware that children in other countries will NEVER have the opportunities kids in America have.

Q: How much does it cost?

A: It depends on what country you adopt from.

Q: Is Payton adopted?

A: This is actually a question I am sure we will receive often, but honestly, have you met my mini-me?

Q: Is Payton your real daughter?

A: No, she is fake. We have to charge her at night.

Q: Haven't you heard of the horror stories with International Adoption?

A: No, I have not thought about this or researched it at all. I kinda like to jump into major decisions with a blindfold on. You only live once, right?

Q: Where did you get him?

A: Ebay

Oh, and please don't tell us how lucky our son is. I think we have made it pretty clear that WE are the lucky ones.

If all else fails, when someone asks you a question and you don't feel they deserve the energy to give an answer to, I simply reply, "That's between us and God." Bam! Take that!
