We took the test last night. Poor Chris was very grumpy about it. I agree with him a little bit that we shouldn’t be required to do something like the seminar or DVD, but at the same time, I think that the information is very important. Parenting an adopted child is not as straightforward as parenting a biological child. I think that the DVD series had a TON of really valuable information and that we learned a lot about attachment, the cycles of need, and how these things relate to the parenting plan. I only wish that it was done in a more interesting format.
The tests were not that hard, but the last part was a short answer/fill in the blank kind of test. That part was the most difficult and it was from the section of the DVD series that covered the most information. We had to go back to the DVD for reference several times.
All in all, we both did well on the first portion of the test. The latter portion must be hand graded, so we are waiting for the results from that part of the test. Once those come back, we should be completely done with paperwork. Next Monday we are heading to the police station to fill out local background checks. After that the home study is complete! I can’t wait!!!
