I know there's been a post about this before, but this was my first experience with it. Yesterday at church they give away flowers to honor mothers, in different areas. Example: oldest mother, youngest mother etc. Well, it came to most children and someone said my name and that I have 8, then someone else in the congregation said she only "had" four. So the pastor said the same thing. I was so hurt! The Pastor and his wife adopted a child, how would they feel if I said she only "had" two? The worse part is the 4 fc have lived with us for quite a while. 1 for 16 months, 2 for 1 year, and then of course the baby. It's not like we recieved a placement the day before and people may not recognize then as family yet. I just could not believe it! In my own church family! I know not everyone feels that way but...

Sorry for the bummer post!
