What is a home study?

The home study is the foundation and first step in any adoption. It is the process by which you become eligible to adopt and is a legal requirement. Regardless of where you live or where you plan to adopt, you’ll need to complete a home study! Our home study is about the reality of adoption and how it works while also getting to know you. Our agency guides you through each step, making you feel at ease and answering your questions along the way. Providing you with a complete overview of the adoption process is key for any parent-to-be. We give you the tools you need to be successful. Give us a call.
