[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 247877, member: 2005"] Many, many years ago, I tried to adopt a child in foster care. The foster mom didn't like us and she wanted to adopt the child, but her husband didn't want to. I went for a psychological evaluation at child services request. I wish I remembered more. What I do remember is being given math facts and I was surprized when she said I was good at math, and I remember the ink blot cards, one of my answers was that a card looked like a witch, she asked me to show her how and another time I saw a dancing girl or a dog, not sure it was great to see them both in the same card. I also remember some questions about general things like who was president and how many people lived in this country, I said 12 million...think I was a few million off, oh well.Anyway, it didn't turn DYFS off of us so I guess I passed, the foster mom eventually got her husband to agree and they adopted the child. And I still got my flock of difficult child's so it all worked out. I would be a little suspect of their people, if there was any way for you to seek someone outside of them and pay yourself, I would do it. Then you would have something to argue against theirs if needed. [/QUOTE]
