I just purchased a T-shirt off of the website adoptionbug.com. It reads:
MOM-TO-BE
Just waiting to find out WHEN!
I wore it today and a woman I didn’t know saw me in it and said. “Oh! Are you expecting?” I said, “No. We’re adopting.” She replied. “You ARE expecting! Congratulations!” I wanted to hug her for her kindness! I felt so happy and proud and thanked her!! She is totally right. I AM expecting!! I'm an expectant mom!!
I also wore it tonight to a pre-adoption support group that our social worker recommended and when I walked in the therapist who runs the group said with a big smile on your face “Where did you get that shirt!?” When I told her adoptionbug.com she said she had never heard of it and wrote it down. I felt proud and can't wait to wear it more and see the reactions I get!
(See the adoption bug link on the right side of this blog to browse their adoption attire.)
We are in the adoption process and want to share our journey with you.

Yeah!!!! Very cool!
I love Adoption Bug!
I'm glad your first comment on the shirt was from a special woman like that. you deserve to be recognized as an expectant mom. go you!
I just bought the same shirt tonight. Thanks for the idea.
I think it could be a conversation piece and potentially help in identifying a potential birthmom that I might not otherwise meet.
