Psycho -

at least we hope we're not. DH and I had our psychological evaluations yesterday. 1500 questions, 6 hours and $850 later we will not know anything more about ourselves for a couple more weeks! Dr. Paul Moomaw is a very sweet man who has an adopted son. How cool is that? We are glad we chose to work with him.

The questions were similar to - Do you want to kill yourself? Do you feel like you are being robbed? Do you feel like people are stealing your thoughts? To you fix door latches? On and on and on. The questions repeated themselves over and over in a different format. It was intense that's for sure. We also had a 12 questions essay format test to do at home, those questions were more specific to parenting techniques. It took us 2-3 hours to complete it!

We're done so long as the results don't come back showing some sort of bazaar personality issues in one or both of us.

What's left you ask?
*We are still working on our autobiographies, Comfort Zone and Range of Acceptance questionnaires. We hope to have them in the mail by Monday along with our home study fee. Our finger prints went out in the mail on Wednesday to them.
*CSSM will then send us the SAFE Questionnaire #1 (no idea what that is) for us each to complete.
*SW will schedule home study
*Will have home study meetings which I'm sure will involve more paperwork
*SW will write profile
*Will submit our Dear Expectant Parent(s) letter (We've already written it - a bit ahead of schedule on that). If our draft is accepted by our SW we will sent 40 copies to CSSM.
*Will do 5 photo albums, draft will have to be approved by SW
*Will (hopefully) receive approval letter by May
*Then wait..........................
