I have a question I thought I'd ask you ladies (and gentlemen if any) since I don't know any adoptive parents. Well I know one but this is about her.
Is it usual for adoptive parents to hide the fact that the baby is adopted? Couple known to OH and me (let me call them Mr. and Mrs. X) announced and faked a pregnancy to their entire family and friends and then had a baby. I did not believe them from the beginning as there were many indications that things didn't add up. But I decided that since it was none of my business I wouldn't react or say anything. Mrs. X even talked about the birth and the fact that her doctor asked her not to breastfeed because of the trauma of delivery etc. . It's been a year now and it's still the same, not only do they keep up the pretence but Mrs. X brings up the pregnancy or birth every time she can. I don't even know why I'm asking this here, I suppose I'm just wondering if there could be a reason for this?
{If you're wondering how I got to know the baby is adopted, they'd told OH from the beginning. But swore him to secrecy and asked him not to even tell me. For his bad luck though I read him a text of his from an unknown number (he asked me to) and it all came out. OH doesn't know their reasons either, he says they are very adamant no one, including the child, should ever know}
