Therapy
Donna et al,
Wow, I didn't realize that the home study was that specific in its mental health requirements! I have to admit it's probably a good thing, even though people like you have to suffer for it.
I am about to step into your world in about two weeks as I do my training and start my home study. I was sexually abused by my mother's boyfriend and I have seen a therapist off and on at various times in my life. (We have psychologists in the family so it's almost a lifestyle.) In fact I've started to see my therapist again since making the decision to foster/adopt. Will I have to get her to write a letter saying that I've "dealt with my issues"?
If you have good insurance it will cover mental health visits. But its never as good as the physical benefits. My therapist is out of network, so I have a very large deductible, and they only count 60% of what I pay her towards the deductible, and then when they finally start coverage they only pay 40% of her fee. Social workers are less expensive than PHD psychologists, so you might save money that way.
You should definitely pursue the rebuttal.
