Are we crazy?

We received notice that we would have to submit a Psychological Exam as part of our adoption process.   (The requirements in international adoption can change quickly.) Oh the labor pains on this one :)  So we made appointments to have our heads examined.  We got our #2 pencils and began a 567 question test.  Yes, you read that correctly 567 questions to figure out if we are crazy!  I felt not so ebullient by the time I was finished (and a little crazy, ha).  But good news, we passed!  After I received my letter of clearance, I just had to laugh at one comment that was used among other comments such as: made eye contact, no evidence of thought disorder, no mental health concerns, etc.
(A shout out to my 'quality' breakfast friends!)

On another note, March is a referral month.  So we should be getting our new number very soon.  We are currently number 11 and should be down to single digits very soon.  Our program averages between 3-6 children referred to families every 3 months.  However, for some reason, last referral month didn't have any children :(  If the numbers in the coming months are large, we will learn who our daughter is in September.
Thanks for following our journey to give our daughter her forever home!
