I couldn't take someone else's child...
so this was said not once, but twice to me in one weekend!! First was on Thanksgiving day, we had some people over and we were sitting and chatting and we started talking about having more kids. One of the women said she can't get pg again, but would adopt, but her husband doesn't want to take on someone else's kid and his/her problems. She then asked me if I was worried if our son would turn out like his bp's?? My first thought is I don't know them to let YOU know if I would want him to be like them; I told her we hope our guidance will help him be a good person. Then on Friday, we are with some people my DH works with and are talking about kids; I see the lean from one of the women. She says in a low voice to her husband that our kids are adopted. Another person over hears and adds her two cents of how she wouldn't be able to love someone else's kids. Last time I checked they were my kids....OBVIOUSLY we don't feel this way so why can't people keep their opinions to themselves!!! My husband tells me I need to let these kind of comments go; that there are probably a lot of people in our lives who feel this way and just don't express it to us. That is fine with me; ignorance is bliss!!
