Thank you for your reply. I've not checked this in awhile as you can see. Lots happened since last posting. Our homestudy is finally completed and our home developer knows about the child we are interested in. The state agency refuses to give us a copy of the homestudy..says it's against policy, but Florida has made 2 requests for it. Our home developer read me some history typed in our study and it was ALL WRONG, dates, times, people...the entire thing..she's a new employee...this scares me because it could effect the outcome. I've asked her supervisor to review it first...since we've been denied access to it.

Question:
If we're matched and we make a visit to Florida to see this 8 yr old girl....I'm curious re: conversation..small talk, no problem...but do these kids know that we are looking to adopt them? Can we discuss this with them before saying goodbye?....How will I know if she really wants to be adopted by people she doesn't know....at this age, it wouldn't surprise me if she doesn't want to leave where she's at. I'm really without a clue how this comes together...if you have any experience with this, please let me know.
