Adoption law requires approved home studies for all domestic and international adoptions. Child placing agencies, attorneys, and judges, as well as state and foreign governments use the home study. It is the first step in your adoption process and people often have their home study completed before choosing an agency to process their adoption.
The purpose of the home study is to determine if: 1) there is genuine desire to be a parent, 2) the emotional and financial resources to raise a child exist, and 3) there is a stable home environment.
We understand there is no such thing as a perfect family and one phrase we hear again and again after the completion of the home study process is “Wow, that was easier than I thought it would be”!
