Comments on: Telling Dad http://www.mommieshere.com/2010/01/22/telling-dad/ Two Brides, One Adoption Story Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:35:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Sarah http://www.mommieshere.com/2010/01/22/telling-dad/comment-page-1/#comment-2376 Sarah Tue, 26 Jan 2010 05:21:33 +0000 http://www.eggdroppost.com/?p=749#comment-2376 Funny, I had a lot of fear about telling my dad we were considering using donor eggs, I thought his fanatical interest in his own geneology would make him automatically reject any baby that dien't share his genes, but the first comment out of his mouth was "Couldn't your (maternal) cousin donate to you?" I was shocked! (Even if she was the right age, we wuldn't be comfortable asking that of a family member, for lots of reasons). He told me "You do whatever is right for you, and I will support you 100%" Sounds like our dads are much more 'with it' than we even know! Sorry for being tardy on commenting. I can't comment from my phone!

Underneath his stern demeanour, he truly loves you enough to want what you want - for you to be happy.

I also thought his comment about adopting an infant "being hard" showed a rather good insight into how tough adoption can be. IT sounds as though he is going to be almost as excited as you and Nadia when you adopt. (Ok, now I am all teared up at the mental image) As father’s go, that was an enthusiastic response!

I'm so glad to hear your father was "excited" for you. Good luck on the adoption course! My husband and I are considering if but we haven't made a decision yet. We're still going through our first IVF. Here from ICLW. I’m so glad to hear your father was “excited” for you. Good luck on the adoption course!

I was raised Catholic, and I know how it can be. Luckily, things like that are usually much worse in my head than they turn out to be. =) Happy ICLW! I’m glad your Dad took it all in stride!
