So far, only the beginning of the process was hard because DP and I are in a unique situation. We're AA and DD is Chinese.There were many agencies and clinics that opposed our family because of our ethnicity and sexual orientation. Otherwise, we sometimes receive rude/ignorant comments but these are easy to handle. Our families love my daughter.
