You know when people think they are being kind,
but they are just being annoying?
I know that I have been guilty of that a time or two.
But it has gotten a little out of hand. I am here to announce that...
Our Children are Not a Consolation Prize!
There has been one too many kind hearted person tell me,
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get pregnant as soon as you sign the adoption papers."
Or some sort of variation on that subject.
At first it was just a nice thing for people to say.
It didn't bother me the first 100 times I heard it, because I realize that the person must think that my heart is broken and than I am longing for biological children.
The second 100 times were annoying.
Roger and I are completely at peace with this decision and our situation. We may have biological children. But we may not. Neither one of us stays up late crying about it.
We are so excited about our kids. Scarred, but excited. But what expectant mother isn't?
Sorry, if this post was a little to "ranting" for you.
Of course I'm not angry with anyone for their well meaning comments, but I think that it is important for people to know--right now, this is our first choice.
We are full of joy, not disappointment.

I hope I didn't say that to you. I probably did. I can't wait for the waiting to be over. It seems like it has been forever already. I want it (the adoption process) to be over for you right now (foot stomp inserted here). Those little babies are going to be so cute and I can't wait to play with them already.
love you,
kat
If you did it was early enough in the process that it was fine. I hope no one thinks I'm mad at them...I'm not. I think I am just being protective already.
I can't wait until you are closer!
here's to just following your own heart, and creating the life you two want. i agree with kat, those babies are going to be adorable and so lucky you chose them.
hugs :)
