We got our video...Underwhelmed

Dear Nest: Please fix your mobile issues. It is a huge PITA to log in every damn time on the phone. I do not use my computer every night, so I miss out on a lot of GP time. Thanks.

The video for our profile was completed today and sent to us for our approval. It was awful. It basically made DH and I look like a bunch of infertile losers who only hang out with our parents and want to be hermits with a baby. The only footage they showed of the two of us was with our parents (praying at Thanksgiving, one of 3 times we pray before dinner, probably my mistake for including it, but whatever), hanging out in our house, and playing with the dogs in the backyard. They only used our joint interview and the interview from my parents. All the commentary was about how we are close with our parents and how we went through infertility. I know there was much more that was said and included, and they could have included the interview from our friends, right? What about all the stuff people said about what kind of parents we'll be? I'm just disappointed, I guess. I feel like it was tossed together quickly because of the holiday season. I tried to be nice in my feedback, but we didn't approve it. I'm hoping for a quick turnaround. 

Sorry for the rant. I miss being able to GP more. Nest, fix this, yo.

And for all the bingers who made it through my rant...my favorite scene...

  • I think I've mentioned before that a chunk of my legal practice is adoption work. Sometimes for those cases I sit in on selection staffing's with social workers to select an adoptive family for a child when it's not appropriate for a biological parent to do that. For a number of the social workers I've met in this context, it's a turn off to them to see that infertility is a major reason for pursuing adoption. I don't really think that's a fair judgment to make, but I just wanted to let you know that it's out there, and it may be something to put into consideration as you try to finalize your video. Generally speaking, I think it's far more effective to highlight the positives in your life, in the positives that brought you to adoption, i.e. your belief that family is based on love rather than biology, etc.
