I know people mean well and they think they're helping, but I'm of the mind that it's always better to just be supportive and understanding of someone else's trial than to assume you know just how to fix it!<br /><br />For me, the most annoying thing I've heard lately has been well-meaning friends/family make comments that "if it were legal, they'd be our surrogate." Um, WTF?! First, I doubt they know anything about the legalities or intricacies of surrogacy. Second, why is infertility always seen as a female problem? Third, and I know it wouldn't be fair to my husband to say so because I view our infertility as a joint trial, but MY BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM! And fourth, what on earth would make them think I would even WANT to use their stupid uteruses (uteri?) if we needed that?Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808854523304595685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478423693110548044.post-83569922472768099632012-04-10T22:15:19.881-07:002012-04-10T22:15:19.881-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808854523304595685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478423693110548044.post-74263407732267553842012-04-06T16:33:18.025-07:002012-04-06T16:33:18.025-07:00So glad you said something! Adoption is wonderful,...So glad you said something! Adoption is wonderful, but it isn't for everyone and it is so crazy complicated. Some people can be so ignorant. I myself vacillate between wanting to educate EVERYone about the topic, and saving my energy for something more fun.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851156767173316716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478423693110548044.post-9080333484042553132012-04-05T21:57:29.132-07:002012-04-05T21:57:29.132-07:00Good for you for speaking up!!
