What Would You Do ?

For me personally I would NEVER get rid of one family to accommodate a new family. I would talk to both families though and see if they could change their dates and hopefully you could get it all worked out. The thing is the second family is never a guarantee, chances are the family you already have is for those 2 months. What happens if the new family doesn't work out, doesn't transition good, etc and they end up leaving in 2 months as well, you are right back to square one. Nothing is a guarantee in our line of work but I would tend to stick with the family you already have as I think terminating just because they are leaving is not very professional.
