Ok so nothing good ever comes easy - right? You guys always seem to be able to put things in perspective and I'm starting to freak out - so a little advice would be great!
During all this waiting, the company DH works for went out of business and he lost his job as a result. This was very difficult as we didn't see it coming and we are really struggling with adoption expenses and loans as well as our regular expenses. Of course this is the same time the washer floods the kitchen, the mower breaks, well - you get the idea. So he started training for a new job a couple of weeks ago. Meanwhile - We got a picture (unofficial referral) of a very pretty little girl - YAY! Younger than we wanted - but hey - with everything going on who cares? Problem is, my agency is telling me we need to travel quickly. DH's "probationary period" does not end for 4 weeks - which I am told is too long to wait to travel. She will be scooped up by then. So --- do we risk DH's job? Do I go alone? I've never even been out of the States so that is a scary thought for me. But it IS only for a week. Or maybe this is not meant to be and I need to wait it out for another child?? ARGH - don't know what to do!! Is the first trip a piece of cake? I'm sure it's exhausting - but I'm more worried about actually GETTING to where I need to be.
