When you’re applying for a new job, you have your reasons—whether it’s to find a new challenge or to escape a toxic workplace, you want to trust that somewhere else will be better for you and your career. But when you’re sending off applications, it’s hard to know what you might be getting yourself into—most times, you won’t know until you’ve signed your new employment contract and are in (a new set) of weeds.

As you may or may not know, November is Adoption Awareness Month. Like parenthood in general, adoption is a journey, but in some ways, it’s still considered a unique way to go—after all, your starting point in adopting a child is completely different from the alternative ways of becoming a parent. But that’s what makes it so special, and it’s why I wanted to write this. To celebrate Adoption Awareness, I want to share my own experience with adoption.

We all may be part of the active workforce now, diligently doing our jobs to pay the bills and live our lives. But as we do all that, I’d bet there’s not one person working that doesn’t have their eye on the “finish line.” Retirement—the time when everybody wants to sit back on the beach with a cocktail or travel the world or just relax. Still, you need money to survive even then, and where’s that going to come from if you’re not working? That’s what your 401(k) is for, and if you know what I’m talking about, you’re probably contributing to that with every paycheck. A little each time will add up in the long run, and what’s even more helpful is if you have the added bonus of an employer match.
