Adoption Home Study Process

An Adoption Home Study is a thorough evaluation conducted by a licensed social worker to assess a prospective parent's readiness and suitability to care for a child. It involves interviews, background checks, financial and health assessments, and home visits to ensure the environment is safe and supportive. The process helps determine if the family can meet the child's needs and provides recommendations to support a successful adoption. Once completed, the home study is submitted to the court or adoption agency to approve the placement of a child into the home.
