Going in Tuesday

[lookinnomore]

Tuesday we go in for out "home study" interview.  We take all the children, his boys who the custody battle is over.  Mine 3 girls.  Any idea what I am walking into?

Do they speak to all these children as a whole?  Do they talk to the children one at a time?  Should we try to talk to the kids before we take them there or just take them in  and let it be.  I don't mean coach them, I mean prepare them in some way.

I hate to feel blind walking into this, we are good people, I guess fear of the unknown is the worst. Any thing you know will be more than I know!

Go into the search at the top of the board and type in Evaluations. There are 88 to choose from.

What they will do is watch and see how the children interact with you. They will also ask questions. Be as truthful as possible.

Do the search and educate yourself.  GOOD LUCK!
