Hi,
My wife and I have an adopted three year old daughter who is currently
in a daycare center. Although it's a bit crowded, we're really happy
with the socialization and education she's been getting. We were
planning on adopting again but not right away since we don't feel we're
financially ready. Well it turns out that a friend of a friend has a
pregnant 17 year old daughter that wants us to adopt her baby. Anybody
who's been through the adoption process knows how difficult it can be,
so it would be insane to pass up such an op****tunity. After looking at
our finances there are some options we can explore to ease up some
extra cash (refi our house, student loan hard****ps, etc.) for daycare
for a 2nd child, but it will be very difficult. We've been looking into
a number of care options (au pairs, live-in or live-out nannies,
in-home daycares, etc.) but want to be sure we're exhausting every
possibility before deciding what to do. Hopefully somebody reading this
has been in a similar situation and may have some advice to share, or
can at least point me in the right direction. (This is my first time on
this group so I'm not even sure if this is appropriate here).
Bottom line, I guess what I'm asking is what is the best
bang-for-the-buck option for childcare of an infant and a three
year-old. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Nate
