You’ve raised the issue in public. Good for you. But there’s no need to make it personal, not to your kids. Keep it to yourself.

Telling your adopted kid how much you paid for her is as tacky and psychologically abusive as telling your biological kid how you were too drunk to use protection the night she was conceived.

Why the hell would you ever tell her that? Have you ever heard of TMI? There are some “truths” that lie outside the boundaries of good taste and are better left unsaid.
