What questions were you asked at approval panel?

Hi everyone. We have our approval panel next week and I'm starting to get nervous. I know the questions asked will mostly be specific to our PAR, but I am interested to find out what other people were asked who have recently been approved. Were they the questions you were expecting? Thanks.

It was over two years ago now that we went to panel, but when we went we were only in there for about 10-15 minutes. They then talked to our SW without us in the room, the panel then discussed and we were brought in and given the approval. We were asked about: why we want to adopt and motivations, what contact we were willing to offer for birth parents and siblings, what type of child/children we see ourselves being with, they asked my husband about his work and how how may cope with the change it would bring coping with the work/life balance, they also asked about support networks and how we are expanding our local network especially with other people who are adopting/have adopted. I think they were also going to ask about what we got out of the training, but I think we talked alot about that in terms of motivations so they didn't ask us about it specifically. Hope it goes well for you
