We have been slowly telling people on a need to know basis. (We wanted to tell our parents 1st but that wasn't working out.) I had to tell people at work to get the time off for the weekend and then for the employment verification form. Besides I want the people I spend a lot of time with to know what is going on. My supervisor at work was the 1st to shake my hand and congratulate me. That made it feel real. I am going to be a Dad! Later in the week we told more of our friends mostly because we needed some of them for recommendations. But it was nice to share the news with people close to us. Still trying to keep it on the down low until the family knows.
Tonight was the 1st big telling. We got my family on the web cam for the Christmas gift exchange. At the end we got everyone together and told them the news. We were both nervous and scared of the whole families' reaction. It went really well. They were all very supportive. We did not have time to go into the details about open adoption. I don't think that will change their support.
It will be interesting to see how they respond over time.
A's family is tomorrow. In person. Let you know how it goes. . . .
