We were fortunate that most of the responses we received were positive. My family was very supportive, my co-workers were thrilled.
The only person we had a little trouble with was my FIL, he didn't understand at first. He thought we could just see a doctor and I would become pregnant, well I had enought of doctors and I was really pulled toward adopting, I knew I could love a child whether they were biological or adopted, I just wanted to have a child.
He really didn't understand until we brought back our pictures from our first trip (blind referral).
He then became very excited.
Most questions I receive now is just the usual, why did you adopt , couldn't you get pregnant etc.
My personal favorite, When Alex starts talking will he have a Russian accent. Did not even know how to respond without laughing.
