stressing myself out

So we are waiting for our agency to finalize the homestudy (which has so far taken 3 weeks to finalize, but that is another post for another day).  All the paperwork is in, copies of our profile are mailed.  All should be well, right?  Except that my company announced they will be doing another round of layoffs in the next 30 days.  We have been saving for the adoption and if we were to get placed quickly we have almost enough to cover everything but it would pretty much wipe out our savings.  If I keep my job that would be okay, but if not then I think we have to put the adoption on hold because it would be the smart thing to do.  I don't want to do the smart thing.  Crying

I'm just trying not to think about it because there isn't much we can do,  but I now live in fear of the quick placement phone call as unlikely as they may be.

    I really hope it works out for you. I would try not to worry, but as you know, that is easier said that done.

    Oh no - I hope everything works out.  I would go through with the adoption no matter what though - things have a way of working themself out.

    I got fired two days before I was supossed to do yet another IUI cycle.  I was faced with the choice of not doing it or doing it knowing I had no job.

    We went forward, I just could not bear with the what-ifs.  I did get pregnant that cycle.  Sadly, I lost that pregnancy too.  But, it could have been the one.

    Hopefully you don't get laid off and then it would be a non-issue

    I hope that you are able to keep your job and keep moving forward with the adoption process.  I also echo PP in that things always seem to have a way of working themselves out - so keep yourself open to that too.  HUGS!!
