[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure where best to post this, but looking for some stories of how things worked out. I'm 48. Kids are in 4th and 6th grade. DH recently took a huge step back and works 10-15 hr/week with a lot of flexibility. In the last two years, my career has started taking off. New job with a huge promotion and a lot of professional opportunities. As much as I'd like to believe the opportunities will still be here in 10 years, I don't think they will in this way. But accepting them now means less time with my kids. It is a huge change for them (a positive one) to have him so much more involved. I was intentionally in less-intense, WAH jobs for a long time. I think we have the right support and structure in place where putting my career a bit more ahead now would be okay, but I'm curious to hear from those who have BTDT.[/quote] Would it be possible to give them up for adoption ?[/quote]
