[quote=Anonymous]I shared the news immediately with close friends and family, all of whom were supportive.  No one made rude comments.  No one asked pushy questions.  You know who the people like this are.  Don't tell them.

About a year and a half in we joined a Resolve group.  It was extremely helpful.  Once we decided to adopt we told close friends and family. Again, supportive.  We're three years in now and when people ask if we are having another child, I just tell them point blank that we cannot have more biological children and that we are in the process of adopting.  The few rude questions we've received have been met with "it's a personal decision and I'd rather not discuss it in detail."

I get your hesitation, OP, but the truth will set you free.  Talking about it has helped me embrace the reality and move forward emotionally.  This is not some moral or personal failing that has to be hidden in the shadows.  And really, 99% of people are not going to be rude.  You shut down the few who are and keep moving forward.

Good luck.[/quote]
