Department of Child and Family Services



On my birthday I finally received a call from a counselor of the Department of Child and Family Services.
He introduced himself and congratulated me with my birthday. We made an appointment for the first session on wednesday the 14th. We had a very good talk on the 14th at my place. He asked a whole lot of questions and even read a sermon I prepared for the latest comunionservice. At the end of the session he already mentioned that it would be a positive answer. As homework for the second session he gave me the following questions:
-motivation of the adoption
-what do you have to offer an adoptionchild
-how to you deal with the background of the adoptionchild
-what are your expectations of the adoptionchild
-how do family and friends think about this issue

That following weekend I made an extended circuleam vitae plus the answers to all the questions he asked. The 19th I had a session in the office of the Department. This went very well aswell. He would try to write the concept-familyreport as soon as possible and would forward that to me to look into. The 3rd of January I received a seven page report. After a few minor changes I phoned the counselor and agreed to the report.
