Where Smilestunner's post was abrasive to you, your post is equally abrasive to me. I don't see where you get off throwing your holier than thou attitude at someone who is just beginning the journey. Give her a break. Not everyone is as educated as you. Stevie

StevieM, please quote me where I was "stuffing a shotgun in the poster's mouth"? I stated my point; some agreed with me, others did not. You don't know me at all, and if you feel I have a "holier than thou" attitude, please go back and read every one of my posts and pick them apart, analyze them, and let me know. I don't do that; it's not my style. I still consider myself new to the world of adoption, but prior to posting, I lurked, learned, and read. And yes, I had made crass comments the first time I posted on a different forum. Because I was not yet educated in the world of adoption, I learned from my mistakes. But in my dreams I would never tell a public forum that someone is
selfish if they desire pregnancy and to have their own bio children. That is what I felt to be an offensive comment. If someone calls me selfish, why should I kick back and let the remark slide? I have stated already that I truly hope the original poster returns so she can be part of this wonderufl forum!
