Ok. I know I'm not the only one. But when we went through infertility for the 6 years before we decided on adoption, pregnant friends and realitives sent me into hour long crying spells. It just seemed so easy for everyone else to just get pregnant. Well after adopting our beautiful, wonderful, amazing daughter - I thought those feelings would be gone and I could back to just being happy for those lucky pregnant couples. Well.. it doesn't seem to have worked that way. When given the news that friends were expecting without even trying so now they better push up their wedding date.. I lost it just like I used to (not in front of them ~ forced happiness for them) Maybe because my babies turned one soon, I dont know. Anyone else go through this stuff that makes you feel like you may be crazy?I'm just venting here.

Oh you are not alone, I am right there with you. I have been informed over the past few months that we have 3 (not close) friends who are pregnant. They have been trying for maybe a few months. It makes me cringe every time. Although I am thrilled with my punkin but I would like to have another one and know that it will be difficult for us to be able to afford to adopt again. I know exactly what you mean about forced happiness for them.
I am so glad to know that there are folks like you who understand the emotions involved. I mean we are happy to have Daria in our lives and would not change it for the world but we are still human ya know.
Thanks for sharing your feelings with those of us who DO understand!
