Kate, I quite liked that chapter too, as I was answering 'yes, yes, yes' to all the questions. I've always known toddler adoption would be great for us, and I suppose this reaffirmed it. :-) It also made me realise how others prospective adopters might feel - feelings and thoughts that I just don't have: like toddlers being overgrown infants! Or that they think their chances of adoption are better with a toddler.

I can imagine reading that chapter being quite inspiring to you if all your answers were Yes. Some of the reasons parents had were quite disheartening (i'm gonna save this broken child, look how good i am). Sort of makes sense why the application process is so in depth here. If only they could get the depth, but in a shorter timeframe.

Hi people, I know that this is very late again, as I have just joined the forum. I am finding differerent things interesting and feel the need to respond. We have chosen not to know regarding if we are chosen. I guess that it would be better not being on tenterhooks. As far as the little blurb the biological parents get, i have no idea. I am planning to find that out now, because I want to know that they are highlighting my best parts. What do you think? Thanks. F

It is a very personal decision but not knowing anything for a year or more can also be very challenging. You will have read your social workers report and the blurb the birth parents get is a small excerpt, probably only the summary of strengths and weaknesses from the last page and some general description from the first page of the report.
