I've never had that very comment, but is a stupid one, that's for sure. I have been amazed how you can liken the feelings, emotions, processes, etc of adoption to pregnancy (though, never having been pregnant, I can only imagine). And its all hard- but the outcome in both is also equally amazing.
I have recently had a thought of my own- women that birth and don't adopt might think "oh, that poor woman could never have her "OWN" child." Well, my new thought is- "Oh, that poor woman never had the awesome experience of adoption."
