[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like it's unkind to say this, but if you can't take off 8 weeks from work, do you really have the capacity to take on another child? It sounds like even a dream baby with no SN or medical issues would be difficult for you to fit into your schedule.[/quote]

OP here.  It is unkind - and uninformed and uncessary - but you knew that.  I have asked for other working moms who've adopted to chime in on a specific questions about the best use for leave.  If someone - with experience in this situation - has specific advice to offer I am more than willing to consider it, even if and particularly if it doesn't align with my plans, because it will help me think through the best options/plan for my family and my particular situation. But armchair Freudian snark directed at a stranger about whom you know very little is not only unkind it is immature and decidedly unhelpful. So please find something better to do with your time.

Well, I don't know if this will help, but my friend adopted a newborn last month. They also already have a biological child.  She quit her job.  She had to stay in the newborn's state for several weeks before returning home. [/quote]
