Well our situation is a little different in that we really didn't tell most people until we got a referral. It was mostly supportive. We didn't discuss trying to have a baby or our fertility, with anyone either. We also skipped the whole IVF thing as well. Basically we told our parents we couldn't have children and didn't want to do IVF and were looking into adoption. They were pretty happy with that overall - my folks were actually really happy we WEREN'T doing IVF. DH's family was very worried about adopting from Russia but really didn't say too much - just a few comments here or there.
We got our referral and then traveled 4 days later - so by the time we told most of our friends we already had Aisling...I didn't want to give anyone the opportunity to say anything negative and put a downer on things.
