I'm sorry you're having to go down this road, Michele - I'll be thinking of you as you do this.
I don't know what dose of methotrexate you'll be on but I do know it is - or used to be - one of the three drugs used in standard breast cancer chemo. Most of the women who were on this standard treatment were able to keep up with their daily routines with few side-effects. (In fact, weight loss was one of the reported side-effects of this chemo cocktail. Life truly is not fair sometimes.) I hope you have a similarly uneventful experience with it and that it provides the help you so very much need.
I too believe that you will find a place for all the love you have for children. Heaven knows there are lots of children out there who need someone just like you.
Take care.
