I hope you don't mind me chiming in, but I completely understand how you feel. My family supports me, some what. I thought they were excited for us, my DH and had tried for so long. I get semi-rude comments, some I think are not meant the way they are said, others are flat out ignorant. My brother said "I don't know why anyone would want to spend XX$'s to get a kid" This was the same brother who spent what we are paying for our daughter, to go on a bear hunt in Alaska. My other brother can't seem to understand why I am not in the Christmas spirit this year, when I said "because I want my daughter home" He said "You're actually upset over this?" And the remark that sent me leaving my parents house, "Hmm, what kind of crap does China have on sale this week" From my brother while looking at the Sunday ads. So yes, I do understand what you are saying. From now, I am not going to discuss anything about our adoption with my family. I am sad about this, but I am finding I have more support with my adoption friends. Good luck with your journey! Hugs to you!!
