I want to applaud you for your well-worded post amom4life. The debate of having bio vs. adopted children will never go away. Some people, like myself want the best of both worlds. And I think by this point it does not matter, as each of us have expressed their opinions. However, mutual respect is something that is 100% necessary on a public forum. I was not blasting the original poster, but trying to educate her by pointing out how some of her statements were uncalled for. Ironically, she has yet to return to this thread. I certainly wish she would so she can learn from her mistake!
To lisalou, I'm so sorry you have to deal with negative comments about your desire to adopt. In time, I hope those people realize that their comments are not only hurtful, but unacceptable. It is your decision in how you wish to build a family. I'm hoping that you get the support you deserve during this emotional roller coaster! Good luck to you
