I know you were looking for people who waited, but I wanted to post because I was also concerned about my family's reaction. As a result, we talked to them before we decided which country we would adopt from. My family and I are very close and I wanted to make sure they were comfortable with the idea since they would regularly be around our child. Even though we are close, I know many of them have negative ideas about adoption and about other races and I didn't want to bring a child into a bad situation.
They have all been incredibly supportive and are very excited. They are constantly asking me questions about the process, they want to know how things are going, and when they can expect our baby to arrive. By the way, my DH and I are also adopting from Guatemala.
Good luck to you!
Laura
