Mother Offended People Think Biracial Son Is Adopted

DEAR HARRIETTE: People often assume that my biracial son is adopted. I am white, and my son looks exactly like his father. Of course I feel offended — I carried my child for nine months and can’t even get proper credit for it. Should I correct people every single time? Why would people even make such bold assumptions in this day and age? — Offended Mommy
