So I had a bad day....

TiffanyBlue927

Yesterday was not a good day, I was already feeling down that no one has been responding to our many ads and when DH got home from work, I found out that are now faced with a bad situation at work which may prevent us from moving forward with adoption. I can't elaborate for reasons of confidentiality, but right now my DH is taking an exam (he is trying to change fields) that he will probably not do well on because he is so stressed, and may have to drop out the program anyway now because of this other situation. It's not a lay off, but is going to be a huge stress and something we don't need right now.

Our boss actually asked DH if "we need to adopt right now". Uh, what business is it of his....and BTW: I am not 25 anymore, and my clocked is running down. We have been trying to start our family now for almost 6 years and I can not face the idea that this could all not work out for us because of a technicality. ( It has nothing to do with anything illegal or anything like that....my DH is the most honest hard working guy ever and does not deserve this at all.)

My heart is breaking and I have been at a loss for words all day. I am trying to rely on our faith to get us through this, but I am struggling. 

I could use some cheering up and some extra prayers today. Thanks for listening.

I am so sorry and will certainly pray for you now - as well as throughout the day as I can. If you are a woman of faith, then know that everything will work out perfectly - although not always the way we expect.

I love the old Jewish saying: Man plans, God laughs.

Not that he laughs AT us, he laughs at the thought that our plan could be remotely as good as his MOST CERTAINLY IS for us.

Keep your chin up, Tiff, all is well.

Oh, Tiffany, I'm so sorry to hear that!  And angry that your boss had the gall to question your personal decision to grow your family when you and your husband feel it is right!  His trying to interfere is not only inappropriate and unwelcome, but also unethical, in that he's trying to strong-arm your husband into complying with his wishes...and if I was your husband, I'd likely tell him so!

i am so sorry to hear this. It really stinks that things can't just so smoothly through such a long, tough process as it is.

I'll be thinking and praying for you. Keep us posted.

I am so sorry to hear your horrible news! Sounds like something my boss would say by the way, very insensitive person! I will keep you in my thoughts! Things will work out. It's such a scary time for a lot of people right now with the economy and all. Keep your chin up!

I'm so sorry!  It's so frustrating when life throws these wrenches in our lives - especially when you have so much time and effort invested in trying to build a family.

I pray for you and your DH to have smoother sailing in the days ahead!

So sorry to hear this. That was a horrible thing for his boss to say ... it's NONE of his business.

I will keep you in my prayers!

You will be in my thoughts- I hope that everything works out
