Diagnostic Questions for People Considering Adoption/Foster Care

These questions are from an Adoption Ministry meeting our church had a few weeks ago.  They were very insightful and helpful.

1. How long have you been a Christian?
2. How would you describe your Spiritual health?
3. If you are married, how would you describe the health of your marriage?
4. What are your goals as a parent?
5. What were the circumstances that stirred your interest in Adoption or Foster Care?
6. If you are married, do you both feel the same level of interest?
7. Why do you want to adopt?
8. What makes this a good time to adopt?
9. Do you foresee any challenges in raising an adopted child?  If so, what?
10. How do you plan on financing the adoption?
