I found this last night in a book called "Adoption is a family affair," by Patricia Irwin Johnston. The book, which is written to extended families of people who are planning to adopt, has an entire section called "Top Five Buttons Not to Push." Button #1 is the "now that you're adopting you'll get pregnant" tact.
Everybody in my life knows that my significant other is a woman and that we want to be mommies. So, when I told my oldest sister that we were planning on adopting, she delivered the usual line about getting pregnant now that we've decided to adopt. So I told her no, we've stopped all treatment. We're building our family through adoption. She insisted, 'oh no, you won't need treatment. You'll get pregnant now that you are going to adopt.' I finally just said, "Do you know how babies are made?"
