Do You Like the Term Paper Pregnancy?
–Delana H. Stewart
While many people find the term paper-pregnancy to be a sweet sentiment or fitting comparison between adoption and pregnancy, others are flat out offended by the term and the comparison.
Is paper-pregnancy an offensive term to you? Entire forums dedicate themselves to this topic. I personally can see many comparisons and believe that people should be free to express their adoption in similar terms or not as they desire.
What is your view?
For a more extensive look into the similarities and differences between adoption and pregnancy, as well as some of the arguments by other bloggers regarding the use of this term, see:

Pregnancy and Adoption are both about waiting and expecting. We wait in hope expecting a miracle in both cases. God brings about a family in both cases. There are unexpected things in both. There is an unknown arrival date. There are many similarities.
