Our FD has been with us since 14 months. She is now 19 months old. Her goal was changed to adoption last month. This week, someone is coming to complete a child profile on her, which I understand is a step that is necessary before an adoption can take place (though not a guarantee that the adoption will take place). Can anyone fill me in on what to expect during the child profile and what to expect next?

We have had a couple of them done, 1 for a little boy that moved somewhere else and 1 for the little boy we adopted. All they did was come out and ask questions about the child and then wrote a paper on what the child looks like and how they act and what their personality is. Ours was painless.

As far as what happens next, every case is different. For one of our cases the child profile was done first and for the other one the child profile was done last. Not sure how that works.

ours was done first, they came and asked about him, about his mom (we had her too for awhile). took less than a half hour. done.
