Modern HE washers use a slow, longer tumbling action to wash clothes. Although any contact with the washbasin can be hard on fibers, it is gentler than the traditional agitator washbasin. Purchase a detergent that is intended for HE washers. Fill it to less than the maximum amount, unless there is very heavy soil. You want to use a cold setting of approximately 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius) and the minimum level of mild detergent. Don’t let the temperature rise above 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius). Most modern detergent brands are just as effective in cold water. Again, unless there is heavy soil, it will be enough to wash the clothes and prevent fading. If you have heavy soil in your socks, gym clothes or underwear, purchase an enzyme detergent. Wash these heavy soil items separately at 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 26 degrees Celsius). If you live in a cold climate, your cold-water wash may run at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) instead of 60 (16 degrees). Since this temperature is too low to wash your clothes with most detergents, you will need to use a warm setting while the water is colder. Vinegar is said to set colors. Textile makers use salt to set dye in fabrics, so the clothes are less likely to bleed. Salt is a commonly used ingredient in color safe detergents.

Q: The agent conducting the interview will want to verify that you are in good health.  You will need to describe your physical and mental health, and if you have had any health troubles in the past or currently have any at present, you should describe your overall prognosis and any treatments you are taking to manage the condition. You will need to be absolutely honest about your medical history, since you can get into serious legal trouble if you lie. The interviewer will also want to verify that you can afford to take care of a child. You do not need to be especially wealthy, but you do need to demonstrate fiscal responsibility. Prepare banks statements, credit card statements, and loan statements to demonstrate that you are not behind on any payments and that you have a steady history of financial responsibility. Adoption interviews are often done as part of a home study, which means that the interviewer will come to talk to you at your home. Make sure that your house looks clean and organized.  Clear away any clutter and fix any problems that could be potentially hazardous to a child. It also helps to have a specific place set aside for an adopted child to live in, since it demonstrates to your interviewer that you are serious and prepared for a new addition to your family. The interviewer will ask a variety of questions. Some will touch on your qualifications and ability, such as medical or financial questions. You can also expect to be asked about whether or not you have a criminal history.  The interviewer may also ask you more personal questions to gauge your fitness as a potential parent. These questions could cover topics like your views on education, discipline, or overall child rearing. You may also be asked to describe your own character, in which case, you should be honest about your faults while emphasizing that your strengths are more than enough to compensate. You do not need to dress in business attire, but you should great the interviewer in your "Sunday best." Prepare an outfit that makes you look well put-together. Make sure that both you and your clothes are cleaned, and make sure that any family members present are also equally cleaned and prepped.
A: Prepare to disclose your medical history. Gather your financial records. Get your home in order. Practice answering a few basic questions. Keep your appearance clean.

Use a quiet calming tone to let her know you are coming and that you don't mean her any harm. Take easy deliberate steps. Don’t rush after the horse or it will get scared and run away from you.
