So, my Mil and sils have a lot of concerns about us adopting.
I'm angry with them. And yet all the things they're saying are things that we've thought very hard about and accepted. Stuff like our very easy happy lives being "spoilt", our birth ds suffering. And yet the drive to have another child in our lives is so strong it transcends everything. I'm braced, braced, braced for our lives to be turned upside down and for it to be awful (social worker beamed at me when I said that) we both are. It seems a fair price to pay for the moments of joy we'll get back.
I guess it's hard for them. It will prob all change and when they meet our child they'll fall in love. But honestly - we tell you excitedly we've got our provisional panel date and all you can do is question if we really want to do this. Gah!! Fed up.
Not asking for advice - just wanted to vent. (Wanders off to scoff all the hobnobs in the cupboard)
