Really? Ugh. Our agency has never encouraged us to do anything but tell the truth, which is what we did. How can people live with themselves if they lie to get a child? It's like lying to get a husband. The whole thing is tainted from the beginning. I would be sick to think I had started my child's life in my family with a big ugly lie.
Blech.
