Recommendation recommendations
Does anyone have any recommendations for what our friends/references should include in their recommendation letters for the homestudy? They are all asking us the same question, what should we say? I don't have a clue.

I know that my very practical, accountant-freinds were asked to be a bit more effusive in their first effort. ;>
I'd ask your agency for some guidelines. My guess is they should tell how long they've known you and in what context. They should tell WHY they think you'll be good parents. Have them include a personal anecdote.
