UGH! yes! it was 11 months before our first trip, and while we were going through it we lost a referral, and the FBI was investigating our agency, but we couldn't talk about it. When people asked how things were going, I'd give a quick, curt reply with a smile, something like "
nope, nothing yet!" and keep walking. It was friendly, but also didn't engage the topic in conversation. If they ask when the baby's coming, I'd say "who knows!", or if they ask if you adopted yet: "nope".
Be grateful that the people do ask, though. My other experience was that co-workers who were pregnant at the time got a lot of attention, and people didn't acknowledge that I was expecting a son to, via adoption. It can be a thorn in your side when they ask sometimes, and a sword through your heart when they don't! What a crazy thing this process does to our emotions!
