Wellllll gaaaahhhreat! We got the feedback on our #profilebook! Our social worker said it was GREAT and they all loved it! Then there was a pause. HERE IT COMES! "But your wedding page. We recommend not having #wedding pictures in the book." First of all, I swore it was in their paperwork as an example of what to put in. I have to check later, but I really do think so. I told her this, she said she would check, too. That being said, I get it and don't get it. She said, "A lot of these birthmothers can not afford wedding dresses and weddings, so it is hard for them to see." I get that, that is hard. But at the same time they tell you to basically flaunt your house and neighborhood if it is "nice", talk about all of your travel, and highlight all of the 100000001 things that you love about each other? Aren't these all things that they may not have either (statistically yes), but want for the parents of their children? Our wedding day was not about my freaking dress, it was about being with those we loved and making a lifelong commitment. And that is what those pictures show! Our families dancing and having fun together! Don't many of these people want devoted couples and a wonderful family for their child to grow up in?
I am PMSing so I will have to readdress this when my mini menopause is over. I feel annoyed! And the fact she said maybe just take the pictures out and put the wording in other parts of the book. The wording is about OUR WEDDING DAY, how do I put that in other parts of the book? She is like the wording is great, but we don't suggest wedding pictures. Sorry, it was a wedding. Should I just have a page that talks about our wedding and have pictures of us skiing? I hate skiing, so no, but you get my drift. Get it, drift?
Vera Wang Dress, you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to take the spotlight in our book!
