Jon and Kate Gosselin to Announce Life-Changing Decision
A TLC promo video says that Jon & Kate Gosselin will be announcing a "life-changing decision" on Monday's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8.
"Recently we've made some life-changing decisions," says Kate. "Decisions that will affect every member of our family, ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace."
Ratings have been sliding for the show so it could be an attempt to boost ratings but the promo certainly suggests that a genuine life-altering decision will be announced.

"TLC fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Jon and Kate + 8 is no exception. For an extended period of time, we have been engaged in cooperative discussions and supplied all requested information to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor. We will continue to engage the appropriate officials and meet any standards or regulations that are applicable to TLC productions."
