Andrea's Top Ten List

This is for all of my adoptive blog friends!!!

Top ten things NEVER to say to an adoptive mom waiting for her baby to come home!

10) "So, why's it taking so long, what's the hold up?"
9) "Is there someone you can call to hurry things along?"
8) " Can you not have children?"
7) " Don't you want your OWN kids first?"
6) "This is just how international adoptions go.." (says the agency)
5) "There are alot of other couples worse off than you." (says the agency)
4) " Aren't you afraid you won't love THIS ONE the way you love YOUR OWN children?"
3) " Oh my gosh, you're missing so much!" "I hope you get him/her while their still a baby"
2) " Do you have your baby yet?!"
and most importantly...
1) "IF YOU WERE REALLY PREGNANT, YOU WOULD WAIT NINE MONTHS"
