A change of employment status from a full-time, salaried position to an Adaptive Non-Salaried Position (Adaptive-NS) without the security, benefits and perks usually associated with full time work.
"At least with a layoff, I'd know I was out of work, but apparently this Adaptive Non-Salaried Position (Adaptive-NS) reclassification is supposed to make me think I'm making a sideways move - just without health care, retirement benefits or any notion of a future. Do I look that stupid?"

Get the Adoptive Family mug.The process of continually adjusting an untenable position in the face of increasing counter evidence.

Get the Adaptive Denial mug.1. When a child is adopted, EVERYONE has problems. The adoptee, the birthfamily, and...believe it or not, the adoptive family. The adoptive family is happy about adopting, don't get me wrong. But when you have "BABY STEALER!" and "YOUR NOT MY REAL PARENTS!" thrown in your face all day, you wonder why you didn't just try for a biological offspring.
2. Developing pregnancy symptoms when you are waiting for your adoptive child to come to your house. This is actually quite rare, and is not directly caused by adopting. If your desicsion to adopt is supported by friends and relitaves of the baby, you will probably not get it. This is actually caused by the stress of dealing with anti-adoption freaks and feeling like you arent a worthy parent because you didn't give birth to the child you are going to raise.
