Try being the bmom in the hospital. I was being induced so I told my friends and family when I'd be there. Only one of my friends came, bless her for being there when I needed someone to keep me entertained. My sis stayed a whole 5 min before taking off, so I was so thankful my friend stayed for hours to talk to me. My bf's family-- no one bothered to come, call the hospital, or even to acknowledge she was born-- even after I came home. We sent out pics of her and us in the hospital anyway, but the only responses to those were from my mom- who really did have to work, but called in sick to at least be there for the delivery. Most of the nurses even avoided my room. They definitely stayed away unlike when I had Karma 6 yrs ago. Sometimes it seems like adoption is treated like the plauge...
Armywife,
just saw under your name you decided at 11 to adopt, well I decided at 12 I wanted a baby when I was 17 and to give any other child I had in adoption. Unrelated to this but I had to share, sorry.
