Throughout this entire adoption process (both domestic and international) we have received some "interesting" comments from both acquaintances and strangers, but perhaps my favorite statement is "Adoption takes a long time, but so does pregnancy! It is just like your pregnant!".
My response (with a great deal of sarcasm)...NO IT IS NOTHING LIKE BEING PREGNANT!!! Having been pregnant I have complete confidence in my response. Pregnancy has a clear beginning and... it has a pretty predictable ending (the main thing adoption is lacking); it might even end alittle earlier than it is supposed to, but worst case it ends two weeks later than estimated.
An adoption can go on and on and on: so unless I am pregnant with a Blue Whale (average gestation period 480 days) adoption is NOTHING like being pregnant.
Hee Hee... :)

You tell 'em Lee! It's a lot more like having a baby and then leaving it at the hospital until 150 people come to the concensus that you are OK to come back and pick him/her up!
I like your humor!!
Ok this is wierd..my word verification for this post is pgn... Maybe thats a good sign!
Funny girl! And sooo true! I needed that today! Oh did I ever need that!
Isn't that the truth! I've gotten that comment too. My adoption was 2 1/2 years from signing with my agency to bringing Ruby home - longer than an elephant pregnancy.
Fingers are crossed that your end is near!
Kerri and Ruby
You are so funny, and so correct!
Hang in there and I hope you have good news soon!
Hugs,
Monica
