Spending your Saturday afternoon talking about stuff that happened when you were 6 and moving forward? Takes a whole lotta time. Particularly when you're heading for your 46th birthday.

The social worker seems to think we have more ground to cover to complete the homestudy - *sighs.* Whatever. I'll do it.

Really really. Trying to get back into that headspace to explain it is tough. The fact I had a "lively" childhood isn't helping. Then I have to mention the house fires, the burglaries...the high school bullshit, the family issues...then go into the first marriage and ALL THAT STUFF....

It gets old. Doesn't anyone want to know where I am NOW, for crying out loud? I've been here for some time, thank you very much.

But shouldn't it prove I can take whatever is dished out? I certainly seem to be good about accepting it and finding a place for it to stay where it belongs - in the past.

"No, I really don't talk about this stuff very often. It tends to ruin people's days."

Really. I'm getting tired of shocking people.

To me, it was just another day. Nobody was going to do it for me, after all. Sheesh.

You mean ... in order to adopt a kid, you have to dissect your childhood in the tiniest detail, over and over and over again???

What is this, you have to have been as squeaky clean as Beaver Cleaver or something??? Sheesh.

Not clean, per ce. If you've got or had issues, you have to have dealt with them suffiently not to inflict them on your kids.

Yeah. I'm having a hard time because I've had all the issues, did the time and now I have to keep explaining them over, and over, and over again.

I can do it. Sure have enough experience doing that.

But squeaky clean? I doubt anyone is, coming into this process.

Oh, they're going to have FUN dissecting *my* first marriage.

"Why did you and your husband split up?"
"Because he wanted to move to SF and become a woman."
"How did that make you feel?"
"..."
