Good grief, mikacat, you have certainly had a run of tough luck lately! Hugs of course, and though I have no advice per se, I believe this wil be the right thing for your new daughter. Otherwise you'd have still been stuck in hell (and the obvious backstabbing atmosphere) of your old job. I truly believe you will be better off with whatever new job you find!
I didn't know that "come to me and I'll help you find a new job" was code for "Hey now, we're letting you go so you can find a new job"!! What a load of crap.
I wish you all the best, and please keep us posted on how things work out. I can't wait until all this is behind you and you are bringing your new daughter into your lives. *s*

I feel sick to my stomach. How could they do this to you? I hope you can sue them. I can't believe a company in this day and age could be so discriminating of mothers. I truly hope everything works out. You and this baby are meant to be together. Good luck with everything.
took the words out of my mouth. i hope you can reslve this quickly and find a company that will actually support you instead of discriminating against you.
((hugs)) i'm sorry that you're going through this, but i know that things will work out for the best. i'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
(((hugs))) I wish I had something to say... that really sucks! If I see anything I will def. let you know- 14 weeks is plenty of time...we'll find you something!! does it matter *reall* what it is? I mean, could you take an "ok" job just so you're not unemployed and then keep looking for something better?
I don't know employment law especially well but I feel certain you have one hell of a lawsuit on your hands. I think you should sue the pants off those bastards. I'm completely shocked and appalled that this happened to you. It's blatant discrimination and should NOT be tolerated.
As far as 14 weeks, I think you'll for sure find another job. And I think it's wonderful you're willing to move anywhere for the adoption to go through.
You deserve really good things and I'm sure they're just waiting to happen to you. Good luck!
