what not to say

What not to say to an adoptive mama who has been waiting well over two years to bring her child home from the other side of the world:

 

“Wow!  You could travel as soon as 4-6 months after your referral?  That is waaay quicker than a pregnancy!”

 

Just sayin’.

    TOTALLY get this. People would tell me “that seemed fast!” when we would talk about travel news after getting our referral 5 months before. I always, always said “well you haven’t been here for the whole 2 years.”
