Thanks MtoF Mama...Those questions are terrific. When it comes to the face to face interview I always ask for them to let me know either way by a certain date. It's good to know either way so I'm left wondering and it's the least they can do by showing me some curtosy.

I am hoping to start a new routine of conducting a thorough telephone interview so that when they come to meet it doesn't take so long, mine are usually an hour to hour and a half and also it means I can weed out the parent's who aren't on the same page as me before we waste any time meeting.
