Adoption application

I just got my "paperwork mountain" to fill out today, and I noticed a few questions in my adoption applications that ruffled my feathers a bit, especially after the discussion on this thread:

1) Describe why you are considering parenting a child other than your own at this time.

2) How do you see parenting a child other than your own affecting your life (such as time availablility or flexibility)?

etc., etc., etc.

I'm especially confused by the second one - as if parenting a biological child would not affect my availability or flexibility??? And shouldn't DES be trying to encourage potential aparents to consider adopted children "their own?"
