    So maybe it comes across as Plan B, we failed at conceiving but are successful at adopting.

    For me, it's how our family was mean't to be...yet could not fully explore/embrace this option until we journeyed to it.

    But to trivialize that "adopting" is an option for anyone, for any reason...is an insult to my family.

    I like how you said this Karen.

    Hi Amy,

    We are in Northwest Louisiana, Shreveport to be exact. Yes, we are hoping to attend an orientation this summer at some point.

    Hi Allie,

    Welcome. We lived in Shreveport when we worked with Abrazo on the placement of our daughter, but we've since relocated back to the midwest. Glad you're finding this forum so informative -- feel free to jump in on any thread and add your comments/questions/perspective.

    How do these remarks sit with you?:

    "The Biggest Loser" trainer Jillian Michaels is getting some interesting feedback for comments she made in Women's Health magazine about the reasons she plans to adopt, rather than give birth to, children. "I'm going to adopt. I can't handle doing that to my body," Michaels told the magazine. "Also, when you rescue something, it's like rescuing a part of yourself."

    While the trainer, who famously overcame childhood obesity to become one of the most successful fitness gurus of all time, isn't known for her tact -- she has occasionally resorted to name-calling in her attempts to motivate contestants on "The Biggest Loser" -- her comments about pregnancy have led to concern about how they might influence other women."

    What about what these comments say about her ideas of adoption?
