My favorite (ugh) response to the news that I was planning to adopt.....
was a lady who had adopted a child herself many years ago but from what I could tell, she did it for all the wrong reasons......When she found out that I was going to adopt, she told me not to do it because the child would never be grateful for being adopted and would just cause me heartache. My response to her was that I'm not in it for gratitude, I'm in it to have children to love and parent. She has never mentioned adoption to me since. Who knows? Maybe she thinks I'm doing it for the wrong reasons (grin).....Cheryl
