Adoption Interview Meetings - Check
Home Visit - 21 days to go
Home Study Approval - looks like September
We had our interviews on Monday. They were much less dramatic than we expected. More just the collection of our history. The focus was on questions like "What was your best childhood memory" and "what was the worst?" "How were you disciplined" and "how do you plan to discipline?"
In the meantime I found out that Paul and Fr. Keith seem to have been raised by two different sets of families (maybe the reason for his post below). :-) It is interesting what we remember about our upbringing vs what our siblings remember. I look forward to talking to my brother.
For the first time we are scratching our head about the discipline our children. I wonder how many people talk about this before they actually have children. Can't we just do what Supernanny does? Well, the dog whisperer techniques haven't worked on our dog...and I am tired of hearing Paul make the "SHHH" "SHHH" sounds to him. We are looking forward to the real life experiences of child rearing. One month to approval - YEAH!

great news!! we never though about discipline until our first challenge. A neighbor had loaned me her book "Dare to Discipline" by Dr James Dobson, and it was wonderful!!. Still in print and revised-updated many times, Take the good fron each childhood raising.
Love,
Mom L.
