We have a whole bit of a process to adoption so the applications are all weighted if there's a few at a time (not first come first serve). When i talk to adopters i recommend someone with small children come alone first and view the dogs and get an idea, then get an idea what's there, then come back with children because many of our dogs don't get to see alot of children and we take the dogs they select out away from the other dogs (in their indoor kennel if the other dogs are outdoors, or vice versa), then submit the application and if approved for adoption they then come back for a third visit with their dogs if applicable and their kids and we take them to a separate room to watch the interaction.
I know it's not possible for that with all adoption agencies but i think having the child come in the selection process is important to see the reaction of the dog especially in a rescue/shelter environment.
