As we are recently approved we won't be telling everyone openly just yet but I did tell a work colleague last week and after congratulations etc this was the response. She wasn't being nosey or nasty, it was just her gut reaction I think - any ideas for friendly quick responses that won't lead to further interrogation of my sex life and fertility?? as she then went on to tell me about a friends friend who tried for years, quit her job and fell pregnant straight away. Wonderful for them but..... I don't want be defensive or rude, I jut want to keep people on the positives that we will be welcoming a beautiful little person into our family very soon :) any ideas?

One of the other saying we got quite a lot was "oh aren't you so selfless, giving them a lovely home?" Or similar phrases. And I think. No not really we wanted a child so we adopted, quite selfish actually. Lol.
