Well today was a confirmation...WE ARE NOT crazy! OK maybe just a little, but I have a Doctor of Psychology and a 700+ psychological test with confirmed results that says we are normal and psycho-healthy.
We are glad this part of the journey is over, though quite a funny part of the journey, it gave us a great deal of confirmation on 20 years of marriage, something to think about and gut busting laughter. We are very thankful to our new found friend Dr. Blackburn, and her psychological practice, for their support and encouragement in her final report that is to be sent to our agency and the Philippines.
Our next step is to finalize our massive pile of paperwork. Also, special thanks for all the letters of recommendations that will be included in our packet.
Things to pray about as these approach...
1. I-800 International REQUIRED Hague/Homeland Security 11 Page Form
2. Federal Finger Print Checks
3. Homeland Security Check and Clearance
4. Our personal passports (and boys original adoption decrees be returned...we had to surrender them to allow them to pursue their passports...they were Russian Passports. We are suppose to get these back.)
Until next time,
Rusty, Stacy, Ridge and Garrett

Step 3...Get a psychological test.
On Thursday, May 6, Stacy and I went for our psychological interview and tests with a great company in Chattanooga. Our counselor, Dr. Amanda Blackburn was a joy to sit with and tell our story too. She will have do a full report for us both. This requirement is to fullfill the necessary components for part of the Phillipines adoption paperwork.
As you know us both, we were not hindered from telling our history and future. We spent about an hour with her and we will send other information so she will have the necessary input to complete our report. Next was the fun part. We had to take two psychological test that will be included in our report. Test#1 - 550 questions...Test #2 - 175 questions. These were true/false questions that were bubble in the space type answers.
Here's a sample of the test questions...
#1 Do you like hunting?
#10 Does loud noises bother you?
#43 Do you believe in the life hereafter?
# 50 Does your head hurt?
#101 Do you see dead people?
#276 Do you like to see animals suffer?
#324 Do you like dirt?
#461 Do you like it when people play jokes on you?
#521 Are you afraid of the dark?
#633 Do you love your mother?
#711 Do you speak in other voices besides from being sick?
There were times when Stacy and I looked up at each other and just had to laughed. Well only God knows how this will turn out.
We will let you know the results as we get them...until then, thanks for following.
