I am constantly asked if we have heard anything. It drives me crazy. We say "nothing new", even if there happens to be a possibility. Hello - don't they know (especially my MIL) that as soon as we know, they will know.
And I get the, "so and so did fost/adopt twice and was placed with newborns only days after being appoved." I really don't want to hear it.
And I get the horror stories too. Heck, I think I am a horror story. No one trying to adopt will want to hear my story. (well, maybe after we have suceeded it won't be so bad).
And I get invited to a ton of baby showers, and I NEVER go.
