So I learned the hard way---be careful what you share on a yahoo group full of women who want to tell you like it is and not even try to be tactful! I posted that we'd locked in our boy and in the post just happened to mention that we might be able to find kiddo #2 off of the special focus list and bring both home on the same trip. WOW! I never dreamed I would have SO many women get mad at me!
They started going off on me, saying that no social worker should have ever approved that, what was China doing, what were we doing, etc etc!!! I didn't even realize this was going on, because when I didn't see congratulations posted it looked like a new topic had started. Then I started getting apology emails from women telling me not to listen to what these women were saying, etc etc! So I went back to the group posts on my topic and realized what they were talking about! Talk about mean and nasty! These women need to get a life! Apparently some of these women sit at their computer all day and look for things to go off about! Anyway, long story short I am NOT a member of the "Adoption Parenting" Yahoo group anymore! What a supportive group of ladies---NOT! I had 2 women email me to tell me they were quitting the group because this wasn't the first time that these women had been mean and nasty to another member!
Live and learn......maybe Yahoo groups aren't the best place to find mutual support towards adoptive parents!
