[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for your all responses.
The reason we decided to look into adoption is that I can’t conceive bio child, we had multiple failed IVFs. MIL had no interest in listening about my struggles, the question we asked was casual, and she said that she would prefer Scottish child (DH is Scottish).
I was super hurt as she knows I can’t bring a bio child. So i felt it was double kick into my stomach. I know I shouldn’t have even ask but I feel really defeated and fragile now.

Thank you all for listening.

P.S. my parents are welcoming of the possible adopted child, but they live very far from us and won’t be able to help with babysitting. IL live 10 min from us and retired. This is our first child, so I have no knowledge to how even bath the baby. I had no siblings growing up.[/quote]

No one knows what they are doing when they have a child. If you do adopt, there are many, many classes you will have to take, you’ll be more prepared than a bio parent (but still, nothing can actually prepare you for parenting.)
You will also get to discuss with a social worker that your in laws aren’t supportive and they’ll give you some perspective on how to address the topic. [/quote]
