Adoption Class Part 2 and a Visit to the Psychologist

Busy Saturday, much like yesterday. We started the day at the agency that we are using for our home study, finishing the adoption class. Watched a video about three adopted kids that are in their 20s now and how they feel about what they've experienced. Beginning to end, this class was totally worth it. We weren't sure what to expect, and were both pleasently surprised with what we came away with in the end.

After that we had our first visit to the psychologist. After a brief discussion about where we came from and what our families were like, we were assigned a test. We knew there'd be something like this, but not 563 True/False questions! Apparently this MMPI 2 personality test is pretty widely used. I looked it up today and here's what I found...

So later this week we'll know if we are both crazy or not. Our psychologist was very nice, and apparently when I left the room he told Jenny that we're very down to earth people, and that he can tell we are good and loving, and will make a good family for an adopted child. That was nice to hear. We go back next week for a Rorschach Inkblot Test. That's going to be very interesting!
