I appreciate all of the time and thought that were put into your responses to my last post. It really means alot to me. My plan was to give you the "Part 2" to that post but interestingly your kindness and support brings up something else I have experienced over the last 9 months.

Have you ever felt like your blog friends know you better than your real-life friends and family? I think my blog friends know the details of our adoption, and our dilemmas and emotions that we face, better than most people we know. In a way, I think it makes complete sense that we can all relate to each other since we are going through or have been through the same thing. And we like to openly like to talk about and share our lives.

But I do find it strange that some of my closest friends and family members have no idea where we are in the process. And never really ask us either. I'd like to think that people are not saying / asking because they don't know what to ask or what to say, rather than being totally disinterested.

As suggested in my title, this is just a rant for a late Monday night. We have many good, participatory friends and family out there.

Fortunately, very fortunately, I have my blog friends too.
