Instead of people feeling the real emotion and situation at hand so I decided to create my blog...and if you want to know and be part of going on then read it and if not thats fine too...of course I still talk to people via phone or text but it really helps so that Im not so overwhelmed and constanly repeating myself...but I will say that I have a certain family member who has email access and is younger so def computer friendly who would still text me to ask whats going on or send me random comments via text like glad to see things are going well when they werent and to be honest I was mad....but then I just had to forget it...I just dont think people really understand what it is like to go through this process.....and its just hard for people to know what to do or say because of their lack of knowledge....I too am so thankful for the community support on the blogs....it helps me so much...Take care:)Nick and Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537407923580887602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150682924297950441.post-73609178305996107152010-07-16T19:09:49.929-07:002010-07-16T19:09:49.929-07:00My friends and family have been excited since we a...My friends and family have been excited since we announced our plans... but I still don't think they totally understand the whole situation. I still hear a lot of "just watch, you'll be pregnant as soon as you adopt!" Almost as if they think I'm adopting just so that it will cause some magical pregnancy.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805497615798737176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150682924297950441.post-12462100857161311952010-07-16T17:27:48.307-07:002010-07-16T17:27:48.307-07:00During our process with adoption I decided that it...During our process with adoption I decided that it didn't and still doesn't matter what anyone else thinks! They ONLY get to adjust! Don't worry and just do what is best for you and your family. That's all that matters! I love you guys and we support you 100% in ALL of this!Emberchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375801049582812555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150682924297950441.post-73370878761782338242010-07-16T13:55:37.887-07:002010-07-16T13:55:37.887-07:00When I started my IF blog I sent the link to famil...When I started my IF blog I sent the link to family and close friends figuring if they wanted to be updated this would be an easy way. A couple friends occasionally check it and ZERO family. Which is probably good now that I've really let out some things on there they probably don't want to know....but yeah....I was disappointed as well. I think that outsiders don't know what to say, and are uncomfortable with anything that's not hunky dorey. And so they just basically avoid it. We certainly are never asked by family how that aspect of our life is going. Friends do, but not family. Makes me want to shut them out sometimes. I'm so sorry they aren't being there for you as much as you would like. But we are!!!

I believe my family would behave the same way. On our family blog, they hardly leave comments as it is. But that's just the type of people that they are. They don't "trust" the internet. So maybe that's what your family is thinking ??? *shrug*<br /><br />Good luck tmr with the baby shower! Hosting something like that has got to be excruciating! *hugs*Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867428737055305800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150682924297950441.post-80533753991874961452010-07-16T11:50:12.304-07:002010-07-16T11:50:12.304-07:00I hope that tomorrow is filled with your being too...I hope that tomorrow is filled with your being too busy to think about all of those things, too.<br /><br />You know what?
