We were very unsure about our family situation going into our adoption. We knew what we were going to do, but my parents were both very open about their negative feelings. My mother went so far as to make a zebra baby comment at a big family dinner that just about sent me packing. The good news is, that I really wasn't raised to think that way by them, and somehow I just knew it wouldn't be a problem once they actually held any baby. Our little man has been loved from day 1 by both, and neither could imagine life without him now! Sometimes you have to look past way people say and see what's really in their hearts. With that said, I also agree with Linny. You have to be prepared for the worst- and if you can't do that, then it may not be the best choice for you and your future family.
