I actually found our agency questionnaire much easier than the 34 page questionnaire from Children's Services. I would be honest about your history. Mostly they want to know how/if you've dealt with things in your history. After all, you have no control over what happens to you in your childhood but if you haven't dealt with it, it may (and I say may...doesn't for certain) affect how you parent. JMO...
In another note... one of the reasons Bug's first mom picked us was that we didn't try to cover up some of the difficult things in our past. She found us to be honest, not perfect. In fact, there was one devestating thing that happened to in my family that I hesitated even discussing. She had experienced something similar in her family. That was a common bond that drew her to us.
So you never know... be honest and brief. You don't have to go into detail. If they want to know more, that is what the homestudy visits are for.
Good luck on your homestudy and adoption journey!
