I am sorry your family is not appearing to be supportive. Maybe they are just concerned.
Personally I was one of the people that had the car seat, some onesies and sleepers in yellows and greens a crib here, but still in a box. I wanted to be prepared but was worried about being too prepared if it took awhile. Looking back, I wish that I had done a little more.
As for Babies R Us asking you about a registry...I am there with my 2 kids buying stuff and they ask me that, even preggo they asked me that - it is just a question. I did register online early and told no one until we had our little man home and pointed out the registry was there. Babies R Us was very helpful when I told them we were adopting.
I really wouldn't let it get to you. Enjoy your preparations. As for the family comments, well they might not understand the process.
Our failed adoption, we got called when she was in labor. Our adoption that worked we had about 5 days notice. It can truly happen so fast you need to have some of the basics. Maybe sharing some adoption stories with your family will help them better understand what you are trying to do.
Good luck!
