Good Idea

I think that making your list and giving it to the social worker is a good idea. An agency we worked with had a very specific list of situations and prenatal exposure drugs that we filled out. If there was anything that was outside of our range, they would call us. We have said no to a couple of situations. It was so hard. One was a situation where there was some legal risk down the road. We had to say no. We had decided long ago that we did not want to have any legal risk in our adoption. We felt that our decision should not change just because we had a name or a face to the situation. You have to take the emotions out of the decision. It's not fair to have guilt involved.
