I can relate completely! I started buying things even before my homestudy was complete, because I also want to be ready in the event of an emergency placement. I got a lot of silent curiosity from most of my family, and out and out rudeness from my sister ("why are you buying/looking at these things when there's no baby yet??"). I still kept buying, but the remarks did get me down. After I had an "almost" emergency placement, however, the remarks and stares died down. Even though the placement didn't work out, it shocked my family into realizing that it really COULD happen at any time, and I needed to be ready.
