Thank you for your responses. It has helped to shed some light on a common theme I see running rampant in many adoption boards (extreme negativity and unhappy adoptees).
Of course I have no idea what it is like to be an adoptee and vice versa. Heck, most fertile people can't relate to the intense pain and anguish that infertility can do to a person (especially us women).
I have gotten so many people tell me" You already have one child. Why do you need another? "Your too old for having more children." Or the classic "If you want more kids, just borrow mine." The best was always "Why don't you just adopt? "Go to Russia or someplace and adopt an orphan baby." etc etc.
Anyway- I wasn't taking anything personal per se. I wholeheartedly support these forum boards. I was just being raw and honest about my feelings at the time. We all should be able to express our feelings whether negatively, harsh, brutally honest etc. The truth is, we are ALL in this together.
God bless and happy mother's day to ALL the mama's out there!
