I haven't even told my relatives about my intentions to adopt when I am mature and stable and married.
The way I see it, it's my business. I can't even start the process and I'm already doing research, reading a ton of books and just thinking about parenting all the time and the challenges I might face and wondering if I will be a good parent and not take my anger out on the kids and things like that that just frustrate me.
I am leaning towards adopting from China in the future, but I also want to consider domestic adoption. From my research, it seems the domestic process is a bit more difficult because of the rights of the biological parents and all of that, stuff I thought had been resolved ages ago.
People have no right to make those sort of comments. They cannot understand the thought, the decision making and effort that goes into this. The way I see it all these children here and abroad needs homes and for people to open their hearts to them is a beautiful wonderful thing and they should be praised for it and not cut down...
Also, is it odd to feel so much love for a child that hasn't even been born yet? I don't think it is... Please do not be hurt by such statements made in ignorance...
