My kids (the ones we have here at home) were phychoanalized yesterday. Hannah did go first and the only tough question that I can gather from her was what she missed from school because she is home schooled.
Clarification : Homeschooling is VERY rare here in Chile and we were questioned by the social worker about why our kids are not in school. She indicated when she was here last Tuesday that this may cause us trouble in the adoption. We´re trusting God with what He´s called us to do and will continue to homeschool as long as we feel God leading. If that means no more kids, then that is how God closes the door.
Hannah had to draw 4 pictures of various things. She had to describe the house that she drew and the trees. She came back pretty content and smiling saying that she really liked ¨Miss Lorena¨ better than the social worker who had come to the house and asked them questions.
Caleb also had to draw various things and describe them afterwards. The only question that Caleb had that was hard was how he and Hannah are disciplined. Caleb responded well and sought to clarify with his limited vocabulary. I´m proud of how he handled himself and once he even had to say something in English for her to look up later.
Doug and I have 2 more added appointments next week. That means that between the 2 of us we have an appointment Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. But that will END our interviews!!! Then we wait to be called back in for the verdic of our options. Remember we have 4 options.
Please pray for option number 4 of adopting 2 siblings. We are praying specifically, as I was taught by one of my parental role models, Sandy Longo, for boy and girl twins younger than 1 year. I´m not saying that will be God´s answer, but I´m simply having faith that God will answer in HIS way, in HIS time!!
Glad these interviews are behind the kids and that they did well. Thanks for the goodies from Chile...what a nice surprise! Praying for God's blessing on the remaining interviews and the decisions to follow!
