I am not going to sit here and pretend I know of their struggles because I don't and the mom and I actually talked about the percentage of women who conceived after adoption but she just nodded and said I wish that was our luck. <br /><br />I think the problem is that some people are just TOO nosy or opinionated and don't think before they speak. If you don't have X issue its hard to place yourself in others shoes and feel their pain. To be perfectly honest most of the time its none of the other persons business and you don't have to share your story but you do because you are STRONG. <br /><br />Lucas is a handsome baby! From what I can see in your blog you have so much love to give and I will look forward to more posts from you. :)chelsburke2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06105984585049607735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-83137528365485602772011-07-11T11:30:06.433-07:002011-07-11T11:30:06.433-07:00Hi.

I can appreciate many things you have said here (and I have heard them, repeatedly) I know mostly everyone is well meaning and/or *misled*, but it is hard to hear it and to prepare the proper reply each time. FYI, my infertility is due to early on-set menopause. The doctor's told me that getting pregnant is nearly impossible, and if I somehow by some crazy chance did get pregnant that I would most likely lose the child because of my egg quality...yet just about everyone is expecting me to get pregnant anyhow, and many people somehow see the adoption as a second-best or a fix-it (?!) ...moving right along.... My husband and I are adopting internationally, China, and I had always wanted to adopt so this was an exciting progression for me. Our home study is this week, but the process will take about another year and a half. God bless you, and thanks for sharing. It is nice to know that others out there understand. ;)Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998244743602104591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-78841198949953462372011-05-01T17:34:08.014-07:002011-05-01T17:34:08.014-07:00Thanks for the good reminders, Buddy!

Everything you wrote is what I deal with and so much of what I want everyone to know.<br /><br />Your Lucas is so lovely! That smile is precious.<br /><br />My sincerest thanks,<br />StacyStacyhttp://designsomethingbetter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-4708965084625656462011-04-30T12:15:22.972-07:002011-04-30T12:15:22.972-07:00I think it's so strange that people say "...I think it's so strange that people say "just adopt and you'll get pregnant." Do they really believe that physical limitations will be resolved if adoption happens? <br /><br />I love that quote because no matter when or how I have children, infertility will always be apart of me.Melanienoreply@blogger.com
