There is also an interview and they have to agree to a bunch of things before even approved.

The people that usually run these adaption farms are very good people, and they are super aggressive in their tone and how they carry themselves. They take great pride in doing what they do and get little back. That being said, to a normal person, they come off a touch weird.
Tom, do you know if they have a "right of first refusal' clause, or something like that? if the adopting family cannot or will not keep her any longer can she go back to the PA adoption group? I would like to keep track of her, if possible and if the timing works out, perhaps bring her to my barn and keep her as a hunter/pleasure mount, perhaps jumper if she showed any ability.
