I love this shirt! I am not at all a person who wants to trivialize or diminish preganancy in any way- it is a wonderful, beautiful miracle that women are lucky enough to experience. Some of us, though, will never get to experience this. I want a baby more than I want anything else in the world, and have been waiting for a long time. It is emotional hell. Why not lighten the load with a cute shirt like this?

We all know that without pregancy there would be no adoption. We all know that adopted children have two mothers, two fathers. I don’t think that this shirt is offensive, just like I don’t find it offensive when pregnant woman wear shirts that say “Baby on Board” or “Mama Mia!”

Accept it for what it is, an expression of excitement. Surely there are more important things to be concerned about than a two people accepting, loving and cherishing a child. Adoptive mothers don’t get sonograms, baby showers, belly pictures, or the birth experience…why can’t we have one little shirt? We want the world to be excited with us, but we don’t get a big belly to show off. I would wear this shirt in a heart-beat, and I plan on ordering one. I’ll consider it my maternity wear!

As an adoptive-mother-to-be, I applaude this shirt and what it stands for.

lighten up. The shirt is great and i love it. My wife and i are adopting after having one biologically and love the shirt. Don’t be so uptight

first, amoms do not experience any part of pregnancy. and i think it’s unfair and callous to marginalize pregnancy as “all the perks.” what about those of us who suffer from hyperemesis gravadarium, joint pain, stretchmarks, long and painful labors, pre-eclampsia and other pregnancy “perks?” the designer of this shirt (and the retailers that sell them) are collectively slapping pregnant and birthing women in the face….

sorry but adoption is adoption…nothing else.

I wonder if you are aware that, in order for adoption to occur, there must first be the loss of a child’s home, family, heritage, name, and everything that has been familiar to him/her while in the womb, and until the day s/he was removed from his/her home. This shirt is offensive on SO many levels. You’re saying adoption is “eh, no biggie”, you just sign some papers, and viola! Insta-family! Um, no. That’s not the way it works. Adoptive parents, I hope, go through a process, both on paper, and in their hearts. Adoptive parents have to understand and accept that they are NOT the only parents their child has, which your shirt is apparently trying to deny. Other posters have touched on the enormous loss of the biological mother, who no longer has her baby. I am frightened at the flippant attitude and happy-go-lucky message this shirt displays. It absolutely makes me sick! Please, stop selling this trash. Matter of fact, to show your understanding of the utter offensiveness of this t-shirt, I’ll attend the “shirt burning”. You just let me know when and where. You say you’d lose money that way? We-hell, live and learn, folks, live and learn.

Her own maternity collection.She is making maternity intimate apparel or something like that.I am not sure.

My wife is pregnant And she is searching for maternity intimate apparel.Where can we find it? thank you

I have a difficult time putting my opinion of this into words. I placed my son for adoption 6 years ago this coming January. I have a really difficult time expressing how I feel about this clever little t-shirt you heartless bastards are so pleased to present to the world. I can’t imagine who came up with this idea and why in gods name they thought it would be such a wonderful thing for adoptive mothers. I know for a fact that my sons mother (his adoptive mother) would be just as offended by this ridiculous shirt as I am.

Adoption is not the new pregnancy. No, not at all. In fact, if you wanted to diminish others’ roles, I would make a shirt that read instead:

“Adoption doesn’t exist without pregnancy.”

I’m sure it would sell better.

Wow, this is revolting. I’m an adoptive mother of a beautiful daughter, and I find the message that adoption=pregnancy offensive. I didn’t carry my daughter in my body; her first mother did, and she was and will always be an essential part of my daughter’s life. This flip T-shirt message, clever though it tries to be, totally diminishes the first mothers of children who are adopted. Saying “40 is the new 30″ doesn’t erase 30-year-olds, but “Adoption is the new pregnancy” sure does make it sound like there is only one woman in the equation, and it’s the one doing the adopting. I would never in a million years wear a shirt like this.

Adoption CAN NOT and NEVER WILL BE the new pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please use your head before making any more foolish and hurtful statements on your shirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How rude!
