Ever had to sit in a small office in an unpadded chair, opposite a clinical psychologist, and spill your guts out so some government bureaucrat can stamp your adoption application approved or denied, knowing her ass is covered?
No? It’s just me and my family?
Damn, just my luck.
I had intended to post an update today on the adoption and what it’s like to have your parenting ability and personality clinically assessed, but I find I don’t have time.
Because I have to go back…for round two. Another eight hours with this man (I’m refraining from any funny adjectives because I’m trying to be a good girl) and after another kleenex-clutching day, he follows us home.
That’s right. You read that right. He’s coming home with us. To watch us in action as a family.
I’m so hiding my vibrators and the duct tape I use to tape the kiddies to the wall.
I’ll be back later, provided I’m not bouncing around in a rubber room.

Hope you amaze those adoption folk as much as you do everyone here!!!!
Thinking lots of happy thoughts for you . . .
Beth
Dang. If anyone followed me home, they’d call the police as soon as we got in the door. Good luck with your home visit!

Good luck! (Love the crab)
Slick
Geeezus, thanks for the warning.
I’ll never be able to adopt now.
Good luck with that!

I like your new layout here. Good luck with your adoption process. May it go swiftly!!
Jamie
Good luck…hide all the toys and weapons and dirtay movies!
But seriously, I hope it goes well. Hang in there.
Mrs. Chicky
I hope it all went as well as it could have and you didn’t tell off the poor man too much. Those people should just give it up and give you a damn baby already!
p.s. Love the new design.
Buffy
I would totally freak out.
kimmyk
How’d it go? GOOD news?
How’d the kids do?
Is this the final step in this long drawn out overdone process?
I hope it all went well.

Good luck honey! Will be thinking of you and the fam. But I know you’ll do wonderfully!
Oh, The Joys
You want I should bring my numchuck skillz and cross some borderz?
Lisa Milton
I guess I get why all the drama (looking out for the kid), but it seems over the top.
Can’t wait to hear the good news here, when it comes.
(Love the 3 columns and new pic, btw.)
Alena
Very nice new look. And you look hot! Who wouldn’t want to give you a baby? If I had an extra one, you would be the first on my list.

Enough with the bureaucratic CYA routine. Yours has got to be one of the greatest families out there.
Sandra
My fingers and toes are crossed for you. I’ll even try and cross my breasts for you for good luck but they aren’t stretchy enough I fear.
This will happen. It must.

Why, oh why do the two stupid teenagers in the backseat of a car not have to go through what you are going through to have a child? And while we’re at it…thank GOD that current parents (like me) don’t have to go through this to renew our licenses or something. Do you think those people would mark me down for having my CHILDREN call me at 11:30 p.m. to asK me when I’m going to be home? What do you think they would think about the sole gallon of milk in my fridge dated August 8? And how about the laissez-faire stance I take on movie ratings with my 11 year old? I’d never make it. But then again, neither would 80% of the parents I know. And the other 20%? They are just better at hiding their flaws!
Jenifer
Good luck with that!
I may have some sense of what you are talking about at some point. I plan on becoming a surrogate for an infertile couple after I am done having my own kids, and me and the hubs get to go for “psychological testing” to be considered.
I just know he’s gonna ruin it for me!
