How Has Adoption Effected Your Friendships?

Adoption has had a big impact on my friendships. When I first became pregnant with my birth daughter, I lost a lot of friends. I gained some "fake friends" who only wanted to be my friend because I was the hot gossip of the moment. When that faded, most people just dropped out of my life. Since then I have gained so many wonderful, genuine friendships with other birth mothers and people involved in the adoption community. In fact, most of the people I associate with regularly I met because of adoption. How has adoption impacted you and your social sphere?
