Family
We told everyone before we even started that we
wanted to adopt someday. I'm 41 my dh is 39. When you
study and network with the adoption world you will find parents who adopt after their children are grown and gone, young couples who could have bio children choose to adopt, etc. I would tell people the "good news" and do not leave room for any negativity. Adoption magazines and TV shows etc. are very inspiring and would be good for educating others too. Whoever is not supportive, I've run into that with only one person and I think it's personal not adoption related, will not be welcome around any of my children, simple as that. I have to remind people that we are not doing this as a "good deed" type thing for the children, this is strickly for selfish personal reasons, they are going to be a blessing to us, not a good deed. If you keep it a secret it seems like you have something to hide, and it's true some are tenative and uneducated and that will give them time to come around! Good luck! Leslie
