adoption is not “the easy way to have kids”

Some people say this, and it cannot be further from the truth.

Adoption is not easier than being pregnant! 4 pregnancies over here & it really would have been “easier” for me to be pregnant again.

If we had announced we were pregnant when we announced we were adopting, September would be baby month. But instead of preparing for labor, I’m celebrating entering the next chapter in our adoption journey.

Also, no matter what brings you to adoption – it’s heavy. It’s a journey that brings out every emotion, even from just making the decision to pursue it.

So no, it’s not “the easy way to have kids” – it’s just a way to grow your family.
