GREAT thread! I'm sure you don't mean to offend. Neither do some of the people who say these things to us. But I used to get tired of hearing the same old things when people were "trying" to help.
I'll add:
Haven't you heard anything yet?? How much longer will you have to wait??? I thought there were TONS of kids needing homes in the U.S.? (Don't get me started on that one and adopting through foster care!)
At least you don't have to go through 9 months of pregnancy! OUCH. Double ouch! Right to the heart...... As if 9 months of physical discomfort didn't seem to be a MUCH better alternative at times....
