The bad economy has reached my house. My DH has been cut from full-time to 3 days a week.

I am freaking out. I don't know what this means for us as far as our adoption plans.

I don't know if you read my blog post yesterday - it was before I got the news about the cutbacks at DH's work.

I was posting about there never being a good time to be pregnant or a good time to adopt and I am afraid this is the worst time to be trying to adopt. Little did I know.

I wanna cry.

I've been advised not to tell our social worker because this may all pass quickly and they will hopefully go back to full-time soon. And SW would be non the wiser.

But also the way things have been going, I don't see us beeing choosen to be APs anytime soon anyway.

I'm trying not to panic, but I am, and I'm not. We've both been totally unemployed before and managed, but we weren't trying to adopt.

I just want this whole thing to blow over. I know, this too shall pass. I hope it hurries!

Love,
J

PS I'm not posting this "news" on any of my blogs because I don't want the wrong person to find out, but I know this is a safe and supportive place to post. I hope everyone else is weathering this economic storm well. *hugs*
