I am curious as to what questions the agency will ask my references?! Also, will 1 out of 4 bad references hurt my chances of adopting?! I am sooo worried... Somebody who I thought was a close friend, has turned on me after I submitted her name... All because I told her I would not adopt her baby she is pregnant with now, I want to adopt an older child... I am very worried.... Please help!

Different agencies ask different questions. When I was a reference for my SIL, it was a religious agency. They asked about her christian faith, the strength of their marriage, etc. and a bunch of things I thought had nothing to do with being good parents.I'd call the agency, explain what has happened and request to submit a different name.

it was a standard form they sent to all of my references. they did not call any of them. questions included: how long have you known adoptive parent and in what capacity? have you observed them demonstrate any parenting skills? how does the adoptive parent interact with children? why do you think .....would make a good adoptive parent?
