Adopt A Child
Home Study - A home study includes the following parts:
- You will be required to provide information about your health.
- Background checks at the local, state will be conducted on all household members 12 years or older. National level checks will be conducted on all adults 18 years and older, including fingerprint screening.
- References will be requested from relatives, employer, school officials, if you have children in school, and character references from individuals who have known you and your family.
- The adoption homefinder will visit your home two or more times to complete the home study. If you have children, it will be important for the counselor to ask them a few questions about what they think about adoption. Some of the topics that will be discussed with you and your spouse, if you have one, include, but are not limited to:
- Why do you want to adopt?
- Describe your childhood.
- What are the strengths of your marriage?
- How do you think a new child in your home will alter your lifestyle?
- Describe your financial situation.
- Describe your parenting style/philosophy.
