#1 has bugged me before, but then I've remembered that you do an awful lot of coupon clipping and such. Also, like you said, it's not much, and you can afford to.
#2 I hadn't forgotten. :)
Have you had people actually say #3 to you? I don't even get the logic behind that! Aren't we as Christians supposed to help each other?
I completely understand #4. (I even think you're a bit older than many parents at your age [please don't take that the wrong way!].)
I'm sorry you've had the misconception that goes with #5. :(
And I commend you for #6. I already knew your reasons, and I don't think I'd have ever thought about them if I were to adopt a child.
Also?
Isaac said on Facebook, "The Bible talks about a man being blessed whose quiver is full. We are choosing to pick our arrows up of the ground instead of making new ones."
Quite possibly one of the most touching things I've ever heard (read?). It kind of chokes me up a bit, actually.
I'm so excited for you and Isaac as you begin this process toward becoming parents. I think that having to fight to get a child (or children) will make you appreciate him (or them) even more than some biological parents.
