I have an even more akward situation than shopping. My dh and I are hoping to adopt a baby boy in June. We decided to go to a newborn care class b/c we have no baby experience. It was us and five other couples. The women were all like 7 or 8 months pregnant. We show up and it is clear I'm not pregnant. I'm a runner, tall and thin. Anyway, we go around the room and say our hames and when our babies are due. I cheerfully say the due date for this baby boy. You should have seen the looks. We waited a few moments to savor the reaction and then laughed and said we were adopting. It was actually pretty funny.
I know it can be tough but don't let things stress you. You have every reason to prepare just like any other expectant mother. And, you are an expectant mother from the moment you start down the adoption path.
Peace,
K
