The blunt truth is... For a lot of us, it's just what it takes if we want to be parents. We just have to take that big leap and hope for the best.

Here's my view -for what it's worth.

Be honest. Answer questions honestly - both during homestudy and in conversations with eparents.

I wouldn't be going through all of your idea's and wondering if you should/shouldn't be telling them this that and the other.

If asked - answer honestly. Otherwise you're going to be spending a whooole lotta time going through every parenting idea you have.

And this is what I don't want to do. Going over every single parenting idea we have, I mean.

Thank you so much, everyone. This is scary, but I *know* that this is the journey we are supposed to be on. I know that TPR can be revoked or that e-moms can change their mind. I just don't want that to happen because I neglected something in an otherwise perfect placement. I feel better now.
