28 Multi-Part, Open-Ended Questions

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

We worked for many, many long hours to finish off the main interview questions. We want to turn this in at the Thursday night class (and we have to leave directly from my school to get to Arlington in time to eat before the class). This is a set of 28 multi-part, open-ended questions. As you will see, they get into the details of your life very fast (for the sake of maintaining the propriety of questions for Covenant Kids, I will only list a sample).

• What do you think it takes to be a Foster/Adoptive Parent?
• Have you ever been abused or neglected? If so, please tell us about your experience. How have you healed?
• What is your philosophy on discipline?
• Are you and your spouse able to have biological children? How has this affected your relationship? Your family? What are your plans for expanding your family?
• ...have you and your spouse ever considered divorce or separation...
• What will be your biggest challenge in providing foster/adoptive care?

This, plus I finished reading, "The Connected Child." I would highly recommend it to anyone with difficult children.
