I have gotten two types of responses..
The first is that we are so awesome and incredible and ought to be sainted for taking on someone else's children (gush gush)..
the second is a really strange look followed by an astounded God BLESS you!! (the implication is we're nuts)
I have had a few "normal" and supportive responses, but I have to admit I'm afraid to tell my dad, who I know will tolerate it, and even be kind to our new children, but will also make clear that we should "take care of our own" and those kids aren't our problem.
The good news is that most people I talk to, regardless of their initial response, have asked lots of questions that led to good discussion of why and what and how and they become supportive.
People just need to be educated---- wellll...most of them :-)...some really are just ignorant!
