What does her best day look like? What does her worst day look like? These are questions only the FP can answer, I suppose, but should be answered.

What her interests are, how does she incision her future? If you have pets kids how does she feel about that? Tell her about your family lifestyle seed if she is interested. Health issues, emotional triggers? How school is going. Can she stay in same school? Is she ok with moving school if needed. Does she have good friends?

no, she's not local. She's about 3 hours from us but still in state. We border one state. She borders another.
 we talked about health issues, pets (we have 2, and Arlo is our spoiled baby boy right now, so this is a biggie for us to know before even considering our future child) and a couple of interests She loves swimming and we have an in ground pool She has 2 siblings that were adopted in previously placement, so we're asking why not her because that can be telling on whether she's a good fit. I hope the others aren't RIGHT there at her, they may go with another top candidate because of sibling contact being easier. I'm used to driving my heart out though, so 3 hours is a piece of cake (I used to be a district manager, I stepped down to branch manager last summer so I wouldn't be on the road so much and I'd have more time at home with our child)

It seemed to go well
They have another family to interview next week and after that they'll be making a decision. They said they want to move pretty quickly. Of course, quick is relative when it comes to the adoption journey. Hoping we get chosen :aprayer:
