Reply to comment by another-reddit-noob in Podcaster saves boy and his brothers from being abused by their adoptive father by montanoj88

Off the top of my head, some things that I believe can be asked of you include:

  1. Financial history

  2. Extensive inspections of your home

  3. Your medical history

  4. Drug use (legitimate or recreational; prescriptions, alcohol, etc.)

  5. Marital status

  6. Interviews with your loved ones to ascertain your identity and character

  7. Pretty much anything that is relevant to the adoption process.

It's understandable why they have to act like this, but it makes the adoption process very arduous. On top of all of that, adoption is "invasive" to your money (i.e. expensive as FUCK) and even after jumping every hoop you can be rejected. They can't legally discriminate against you, but they can certainly make up excuses to reject you (see: the difficulty LGBTQ+ people or people trying to adopt as a single parent face in the adoption process)
