Get it over with
We're in hospital for what we hope is a very quick assessment and home again, as Baby Spouse has some breathing problems, it's probably just viral, but they may want to observe him overnight.
After numerous conversations with acquaintances where I don't feel like disclosing he's adopted, in this setting, as Mr Spouse just said, it's as well to say more or less immediately "we adopted him, we met him at 3 days, he had X and Y problems and yes, we know about A and B risk factors and his siblings don't live with us obviously, and we only have one side of his genetic history".
It kind of feels good in an odd way.
(Do bug me if I don't update to say how he is, but don't panic if I don't as it may be lack of battery on my phone)

Poor little bean! I hope he feels better soon. And I know how you feel about the stress of heading to the hospital and the relief of being able to just rattle off the facts rather than worry too much about implications. Take care, all of you!
