[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would they fire you for adopting?  Now-if you can’t meet the obligations of the job once your personal circumstances change, then that’s on you.

I've run into a lot of parents who specifically don't want a nanny with children. I'm not sure how this particular family would feel about this scenario, but one of my nanny friends got pregnant and my MB seemed to think firing her was the right thing to do. I'm going to focus on beefing up mu savings account so we're prepared for any scenario. [/quote]

A pregnant nanny is a different scrnario. Parents worry about accommodating pre-natal appointments, any sickness/tiredness/complications the nanny might have. They also may not be willing to offer any additional maternity leave beyond contracted time off, paid or unpaid. Then they either worry about her quitting to stay home, don't want her to bring her baby to work, or feel guilty about making her take care of their child while hers is in daycare or something. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that the additional potential complications of a pregnant nanny and mom-of-infant is what makes people fire them.

You're talking about adopting an older child, so unless this is a child with major special needs that need to be dealt with during the day, I don't think you have to worry.[/quote]
