It is weird. The whole thing, but imagine it like dating... my husband and I refer to the process as dating for children. We met each other on match.com.... you scan the pictures, you email for some additional information, you meet, you spend longer times together, maybe some weekends, you move in together, you get married. It's exactly the same process with the kids.... you scan a ton of mini profiles, you read the longer profiles of the kids that jump out at you, you get additional information from case workers, you meet, you get longer visits together, the child gets placed with you, then adoption.
If you laugh at the irony and weirdness of the entire process, it is much easier to get through it.
