Please, please, please, don't complain to me about how horrible your pregnancies are and that you're thinking of doing adoption next time. This really hurts my feelings and minimizes the blessings of adoption. I know you don't mean it in a hurtful way, but adoption hasn't been easy for us. If you knew all the paperwork, money, and time that Alex and I spend on it, you would gladly take your 9 months of discomfort to get a beautiful baby that you can take home from the hospital.
We didn't "pick" an easy way and eventually we are looking forward to our journey ending with an adoption. After being picked three times and two failed placements in two years we still are motivated to do adoption. Please be thoughtful and kind when you give us advice.

Oh I hear ya! I hate when people complain about their pregnancies! Worst feeling ever! The next time someone complains I'm gonna tell me, "Yeah, adopting is SO easy and so much fun! Try waiting a year to get picked just to find out it's a scam. Then wait another 2 years to have a failed adoption. You don't have to fill out paperwork, have a home study or take parenting classes to have your baby!"
It's hard to be patient at times, but you truly get the child that is meant to be in your family! Good Luck!
