I thought i had to do a post about this today as i feel a little ashamed by something i wrote a while back that may upset people when it wasn't meant to upset, i was just so mad and upset at the time.
I have been reading this blog for a while now and its only now that i am starting to understand the process of adoption and how hard the journey can be, i know the process is different in the US but the emotions and the stress are all the same. I feel ashamed to say that i had a rant on here after being told numerous times that little thing that most infertiles hate to hear, 'you should adopt', 'you can always adopt' ' there are loads of kids that people don't want, why don't you adopt them'. I was sick of hearing this. From reading the above blog i have learned that you don't just decide to adopt there are so many stages to go through and for me you have to be so strong to deal with that which I'm not. I said some pretty nasty things about this and am truly sorry to anyone that may have found them upsetting. Most of the things i post i am not bothered if people don't like them as they are normally just my openness but even i have to agree that i may have been a little bit harsh.
So again i am sorry.

I'm glad you found my blog and that you learned something from me. I don't blame you for feeling this way. It is hard to think about giving up your dreams of a family to move on to something so scary. And people who say, "just adopt." Well, they can come read my blog and see what "just adopting" involves. It is a lot of loss and heartache.
