Hi everyone-
I am 25 and we are adopting a DD. We are totally excited and happy that we are starting our family by adoption. We tried for 3 years to get pregnant and decided after one hospital visit for IUI that we did not want to continue infertility treatments.

My question to everyone who has experienced this is.... when will I finally not have the twang of resentment or jealousy when I hear someone I know is pregnant? I hate it! I want to be happy and I excited for them but all of a sudden this strange feeling will pop up and I feel bad. This feeling comes even when I know I am excited to adopt and I feel like this is what God intended for our family.

I hope no one feels like I am wierd, I just feel frustrated by my own feelings. Is this something that just takes time? How long? I imagine many woman just have procreation instincts so it must be fairly normal but I hate it.

Thanks everyone,
Hilery
