Procrastinating....

There are just some people that I meet, that no matter how hard they try, I can still see right through them. I met such a person recently. Try as they may to hide their feelings, I could tell they were against the international adoption I had just done.

It usually starts with "Well, God bless you." And there is usually a "you've done a really good thing." And ends somewhere with "I don't think I could've ever..." My reply (only in my head) is don't.

I hear these phrases from people so much that I can truly tell when people are being sincere or if they are just placating me in their head. I am sure they think I can't tell...but I can. Usually at that point, they ask some pointless question, in which I give some candy coated answer...and we both move on.

I have entertained the thought of educating them...but somewhere after they tell me how their 2 year old is learning a second language from a private tutor - I assume they are just not going to care and just not going to "get it." Maybe it is the wrong thought, but...

There are so many children in the world who need homes. AND I am not in agreement that everyone is capable of adoption. Quite the contrary, I think only a select few are genuinely motivated (maybe that is why those few have so many???).

Sorry...venting my frustrations of being placated...AND procrastinating...
