Adoption Home Studies:
The process begins with the following steps:
Family Consultation
Background screening (for all household members over 18 years old)
Training/Counseling
After these steps have been completed a home study narrative will be started. A family counselor will interview the family several times in order to gather information to include in the home study. The home study will consist of the following:
Motivation
Physical description of the home and neighborhood
Personal history (per applicant)
Medical (history per applicant)
Parenting experience
Employment
Safety
