A little disappointment

I had a little disappointment today. Doug & I went to AWL for our first (& prob our last) consultation. I felt she thought we couldn't afford adoption. Well, for over $40K who can? We can afford a child but the adoption fees are a bit much as you all know...at least all @ once. We have a nice home in a nice town, good schools & we both have jobs. She questioned our financial means twice & fundraising. I felt the need to explain to her that the fundraising is just to get us to our goal faster & to include everyone in our plans to adopt a baby. We don't expect to fund our whole adoption by fundraising. We don't need to do that. We work OT & save. She just looked @ me. Thats it....just looked @ me.
Then she mentioned that 3 dogs may be another issue. REALLY?! So, the client I had who put his golden retriever down b/c he attacked his girlfriend isn't as dangerous as any dog? Or about that chihuahua that bit the baby in the face b/c it was to close to its owner? Lets be realisitic. Any dog can attack. It just felt that she was shooting us down before she even got to really know us. :(
