I do feel pressure in general to be a great parent, though I don't think I feel additional pressure becuase we adopted. I think many people are so blinded by the "amazing" thin we've done (gag) that they don't really judge me as hard as I judge myself.
I worry a lot about providing Ty with the life his bparents envisioned him having when the picked our profile. I worry if they come here, they will be disappointed in our home and way of life. I struggle with that a lot actually. I think I would struggle with living up to their hopes regardless of if our adoption was opened or closed, but I guess a little more so in the respect they could be disappointed with me face to face.
