Seems like everyone is "talking about us" these days.

Let's see what misconceptions they can come up with.

    Interesting to see so many adoptions posts other places...I wonder if it's the 16 & Pregnant episode last night that got people thinking about it more?

    They even discussed it on the politics board the other day. Before the MTV show.

    I might be poking into areas where I oughtn't but, I personally raise an eyebrow at the phrasing (I'm paraphrasing) "if adoption were my only chance to become a parent...".  (and it's not said by people who are being offensive--or at least not exclusively--in the post linked above it wasn't said by someone being obnoxious at all)

    I've seen it a lot on other parts of the interwebz and it somehow doesn't sit well with me--but I can't put my finger on why.

    Maybe because if we pursue adoption (big if--not there yet) it won't be because we couldn't do IVF or IUI or surrogacy, it will be because I think it's a better choice (for me--I don't care what anyone else does) than those options.  Or maybe because I've known to many swell people who can/did have biological children who also fostered/adopted/etc. 

    Or I guess, probably just because I dislike the implication that adoption is the 'less preferable' choice.
