Well I was a teacher before our adoption and when we first got picked I gave my notice and was ready to bail. a few days later she changed her mind. Luckily I had just used some sick days and not much was lost.
When we got called again and I knew she had 30 days to change her mind I was gunshy. So I continued to work. Luckily it occured in February where we had 2 Mondays off and such. I would go to work for a day or two while hubby stayed home, or my father or MIL/FIL and then take a day or 2 off. I continued this until the 30 day period passed and then I left officially.
I didn't tell my students until the last week because they had grieved with me when our other adoption fell through and I did not want to put them through this. All they knew was that their teacher was suddenly grumpy (sleep deprived) and making lesson plans like nobody's business!
Since there was only a 15 day period between our match that fell through and getting rematched, I just needed to be careful all around. Luckily my principal was more than willing to work with me!
