I got pregnant after son #3, while we were doing our homestudy for our daughter from Kazakhstan, and SO many people I knew, who were anti- my adoption said, "See THIS is how you'll get your girl," as if I was so unhappy with my sons and/or dying for a girl because of her gender itself, etc. Some even told us we had been mistaken in hearing from God to adopt a girl and that He actually said he was going to give us one biologically. I cannot TELL you how intheirface, ashamed I am to say it, I felt when my 4th boy popped out! Teeheehee....needless to say we're still adopting and those folks have been real silent lately. I feel for you....life is just plain hard sometimes, sister, and that's just the sucky truth.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Shan in ColoradoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-52625317919634474342008-12-30T15:45:00.000-05:002008-12-30T15:45:00.000-05:00Girl, I have heard a lot of that same crud from pe...Girl, I have heard a lot of that same crud from people out there and yes I have wanted to smack the snot out of them. The getting pregnant after adopting is seriously the one that makes me really want to slug them.

I know I shouldn't have. It must have been the "awkward silence" moment. You know, where it's either laugh or cry. I chose to laugh. People are stupid -- seriously. I told my 11 year old son today that I wanted to knock the life out of some woman who was just pestering the snot out of us. He asked if I wanted him to help. *snicker* (I'm such a bad mom!!) I explained that just because I felt that way and said it didn't mean I would do it. I suspect that's where you are. People can be insensitive, stupid, unthinking and just basically rude. "Keep your chin up" - ha! What are they thinking?? Really!!! I know you hurt; I know this is SO STINKING hard. I pray for you. I want this for you. God knows how this will all play out. This is some hard stuff, my friend. I'm still, honestly, betting on the adoption going through. There is an Emma out there that is your daughter. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, eh? Or makes us want to knock the snot (can I say snot on your blog?)out of someone. Dear, dear, Lori. I wish you could grow taller so you could smack your doctor in the face (oops, did I say that out loud?). *smile smile smile* And a big hug too!! (I need to go take some kind of pill -- oh wait, you can't take those and adopt can you?)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487340922585988224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-67083921690221916392008-12-29T23:33:00.000-05:002008-12-29T23:33:00.000-05:00I am not offended!
