I told everyone in my family and while they weren't surprised, they were worried in case I got my heart broken if I had to give a child "back." (Which could happen). I also prepared them for a child of another race (I am white) and asked my friends tough questions.
In the end, it, is what YOU think that matters. Now that I have my son, it is like my Mom and Dad never had one moment's hesitation (ha). They have forgotten all the worry they threw my way.
Now, because I am single, I DO get some wacky comments like, "Why didn't you just go to a bar and pick up someone and get pregnant" and "Why didn't you just use a sperm bank."
Puh-leeze.
