A, I am quite pleased to say that to-date, I have not had even one negative response relative to our plans for adoption from family, friends and coworkers...even total strangers where the conversation led in that direction. Support has been "overwhelming", some of which has been detailed in the BLOG entry about "Found Families". And should I ever experience any negativity...IMHO, it "their" problem, not mine.

I feel very sad that some others have had exactly the opposite experience. While I realize that "everyone" will not approve or be supportive, those who have had nearly total rejection deserve better. After all, consider the gift they are presenting to the world...as you already have with your recent adoption.

I'm pleased that your daughter has also helped some folks to see the light a bit clearer...
