I did respite for a large adoptive family who had three toddler girls about the same size, one Caucasian, one Asian, and one Haitian. They were asked more than once if they were triplets!
I would go with the non-committal response, unless it is someone whose opinion really matters, and then they likely wouldn't need to ask! I must admit to curiosity about families who are obviously multiracial. I usually mind my own business, but if I choose to ask I approach it from the standpoint of the family (ie. "Is your family formed through adoption?") rather than asking straight out about the individual child. That gives them a chance to share their experience without the need to go into details on their child's private life--or to brush me off and walk away!
