Negative People in the Yahoo Groups

Michael and I have had a heck of a couple of years. We came to the decision to adopt our child from China and it will be one year in August since we started this process.

I have found a couple of Yahoo groups that I joined to help pass the time and it's nice to be able to talk to people that are going through the same emotions that you are and truly understand--we love our family and friends to pieces, but they just can't understand completely what we feel.

We have joined swaps with people in our group--the post card swap and the One Hundred Good Wish Quilt swap and we even joined the secret buddy swap--what a great distraction to help with the long wait that we have ahead of us.

On our groups we post our web sites which you’re reading now and it's nice to get to know these other people in our group, who knows, we may meet up when we travel to China.

Now--I guess that I just can't understand WHY if you think our groups are foolish or to quote "Stupid People" why are you still involved? Get out--Leave--don't participate--no one is holding a gun to your head!!!

People deal with things in different ways and I truly find it offensive that you still participate in our group and then do nothing but trash us on your blogs--go somewhere else!

I was so offended to read that because I belong to a yahoo group that I'm STUPID, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ISSUES MY CHILD MAY HAVE WHEN SHE COMES HOME AND THAT I HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE A PARENT!

HOW DARE YOU!!

We choose to participate in these groups as a distraction and for support when we need it. Obviously, you don't care to participate--why are you still involved???

I feel that we all have opinions and yes they should be heard but when it is all just negative I don’t understand why you continue—is it for your entertainment? Does this make you feel better than the other parents? What?!?!
