A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.

Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Can adopted parents have children ?
Continuing the logical progression illogically.
It skips a generation...
Which reminds me of something I heard that cracked me up:
"Did you parents ever have children?"
Have you read Time magazine this month?
I had a math teacher in 8th grade who used to ask, "did your parents have any children that lived?" Still one of my favorite insults.
"They were both adopted. As in I adopted them as adults. You see, after I lost my biological parents in '76, I thought I could cope. But turns out i really missed having someone to tell me how to run my life so I adopted these two last year."
"Well, how did your biological parents die?"
"They didn't die, I lost them. At Disneyland."
The person probably heard it as "any major illnesses in your family" or something like that. The reason I say that is my mother died when I was five and she was adopted. When I am asked the question regarding illnesses, I have no idea what I may have a predisposition to on my maternal side. My mother's death was due to an accident, not an illness.
Still, a funny answer :)
