I do agree that this couple (and even Sharon Stone's) business is thier business.
At the same time, I do understand what you are trying to say Storm, I think it just sounded a little "accusing" KWIM? Sometimes it's hard to get what we want to across because we are reading text, and each read things a different way.
It IS frustrating for me to hear of people like my aunt and uncle, where i KNOW they did something illegal and frankly they don't care at all and think WE should do the same (they are snobs..when I asked how much it costs they said "45,000" and then made me feel like crap because i said I could never do that). I DO though try not to assume that this happened with all quick adoptions (or with "well-off" people). Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw, and in any rate we all have to go through the same loops as the other (even though it may not quite seem that way).
You sound like you are having a real bad day and was just venting....believe me I get it (especially with the finances....I'm SOOO stressed about this). I hope your day is better.
NJ-LMAO about the used/low mileage thing. People will think what they want no matter what. People assume my parents are paying for our adoption and make little comments...funny thing is we are paying for it ourselves, with money we saved, not a dime from any loan, etc, and if we DO get money it will be very very little from dh's grandma and grandpa, not that it's anybody's business and that it makes me better than someone who DID get a loan. KWIM?
