I have to say I can really relate to all of your comments. I have alway wanted to adopt. When my husband and I found out we couldn't get pregnant we were just oh, ok. We didn't even consider fertility treatments. When I told my dr. I was done with all the testing she got kind of mad. She called and wrote saying "we should keep testing and find out exactly why" "I'm sure we could help you get pregnant" "You don't have to adopt when you have all these other options". I was so upset. I finally just told her she didn't get it. That I just want to be a mom, it doesn't matter if my child comes from my body or someone elses. My child will be my child regardless and I will love an adoptive child as much as I would a biological child. I also told her that I wouldn't be going to her anymore!
I have to believe though that most people that make those comments just don't understand. I just try my best to smile and tell them it doesn't matter. Most who have said these kinds of things to me understand after I explain it to them. Don't get me wrong, it still ticks me off. I just try not to show it to them.
