Part of the home study process is attending adoption classes. Mark and I attended the first one on Thursday night. It was hosted by a couple that adopted four children from the same home study agency we are working with. There were three other couples attending class. We were the only couple doing an international adoption.
During the class, we heard from the hosting couple tell their story. Then, the husbands and wives were separated so they could ask us about the joys and strengths of adopting different types of children. Then we had to take a questionnaire about our personal histories. I'm assuming they will compare it with our spouses to ensure we are "on the same page."
Our next class will be specifically for international adoptions. Until then, we will be required to do an intake interview at the home study agency's office which we plan to do this week. And guess what the best part of the adoption class was.....more paperwork :)
