Adoption help

miss dove

Hi. I have posted this on 'adoption' forum as well. I'm hoping someone on here can help. My friend has just phoned me to ask if I would be her character reference for her adoption process. We both live 'up north' in case that makes a difference. I just want to know what sort of questions I might be asked during the interview and how many people will be interviewing me? My friend and her husband are the two nicest people I know and really want to do/say the best thing for them. I've known them since we started university together and am so chuffed that they think so highly of me to ask. Please reply with any tips you might have. Many thanks

I'm not sure if 'up north' makes a difference to the rest of ireland - I know my mother's been a character reference before here. They just tend to ask how long you know them, how often you'd see them/be in their house/vice versa. Ask about your children (if you have any) ask about their children (if they have any) and what you think of them as parent probably too. I'm not sure how many, I'd assume only one - I think that was all that came to our house was a lady.

People in the adoption forum probably know better - but as far as advice, I'd just be honest with them, that's the best you can do
