Adoption Homestudies
An Adoption Home Study is done to approve prospective families/homes for an adoptive placement.
This is only one part of a process which involves attorneys, agencies, state and possibly federal and international personnel.
The Adoption Home Study process includes:
- A comprehensive interview with prospective parents, including background checks, reference checks, and a survey of the
home.
- A report is compiled with the findings and recommendation based upon the gathered information
- After placement of a child occurs, a six month post placement period begins where three visits will take place at one,
three and five month intervals.
- If placement is successful, a report is completed recommending adoption to the court.
