YES!!! Thanks everyone for your prayers and support! I was disappointed at first because the pay is $7,500 less than the minimum salary I wanted to accept. So I told them I needed to think about it, but today I called and accepted. Even though it's not the exact number I wanted, it's still $23,000 more than I make now, which is an amazing raise and will make a huge financial difference. It's also a fantastic job that will give me excellent experience, and I can see myself staying there long term.
What is also really exciting about this is that I'll now have group health insurance, meaning I'll have maternity coverage. This was a big reason why we were pursuing adoption. I will probably need to go on Clomid since I don't ovulate, but at least TTC is an option for us now. We're going to keep pursuing adoption, though, and just leave it to God and see what happens.

I was just wondering the same thing... was it good news?
