We had our home adoption study tonight.  Basically it was an update of our foster care study which was done a year ago.

There was a question session for me and a question session for Younger Boy. 

Most of the questions for me were things like:  How has being a parent changed your life?  What is your daily schedule like?  What do you think your parenting style is?  How have you acclimated Younger Boy into your family?  Describe Younger Boy.

Younger Boy's questions were things like:  How do you know your mom loves you?  What is your opinion of adoption and foster care?  How does living here make you feel?  What are the expectations of you here?

His answers were really interesting.  I will be interested to hear Middle Boy's answers to those same questions.

The interviewer told me that most adoption studies have much younger kids and so it is fun to do them with older kids, because they actually have answers to the questions.

There was a question and answer session at the end and Younger Boy only had one question.  When is the adoption going to happen?  I explained the steps we had to go through to get there.  He was disappointed that it wasn't going to be this week.  We told him it would likely be in February or March.  We gave him the list of things though so he can check them off as they happen.  He seemed excited to do that.

Praises for the adoption study going well.
