[Actually, that is how I felt. Sorry that you think it's wrong for me to have my own feelings, but it doesn't change the fact that it is how I felt.

Sorry for making you feel like your not entitled to your own feelings, you absolutely are. I am sad that that is the way you felt about the class. I found it very beneficial in helping us make a final decision

After a few more classes, maybe my opinion will change, but we were discussing our thoughts after the first class. And the first class was an adopting parent disaster - the things we were told were everything but to ignore the child so that you don't get attached to him, etc. My wife and I both walked away shrugging our shoulders because if we asked a more "adoption specific" question, we were treated as if we didn't know what we were talking about, since obviously the kids are going back home with mom and dad.

If that's trully the way you feel, you should report it to a supervisor.

oh and.. my first serious girlfriend - yes, we discussed marriage within months. Within 9 months we were married, have been married for over 20 years now, and have several wonderful children together.

Great for you, it is really rare that actually happens.

I think its more important for you to be open to everything that is offered to you. I take every class or training offered to me, because regardless if I feel it applies to me, that is just one more thing that I learn about and it makes me a better person.

Best of luck to you and to your family.
