*Assessment Interview* The following questions will help you determine where the couple/person is in the process of considering and preparing to adopt a child. 1. Do you feel you are spiritually prepared for adoption? 2. Do you feel you are emotionally prepared for adoption? 3. Are you financially prepared for the adoption process? 4. Do you have enough space to raise a child where you are currently living? 5. Do you have the time necessary to adopt and care for the adopted child? 6. Is your relationship as a married couple strong enough to deal with the stress of a new child (some couples will bring in a child to solve a problem. This is a bad approach and does not work)? 7. Are there some things that should be worked on in your relationship together before adopting a child? 8. Do you have adequate outside social support to raise a child? 9. Have you spoken with other couples who have adopted a child? What where their greatest challenges? 10. Do you plan to have a biological child as well? Or is you have one, have you spoken with the child about having a new brother/sister?
