The adoption home study is a detailed written report of your family compiled and prepared by a social worker. The adoption home study requires the prospective adoptive family to gather different documents, answer several questions, and explore their reasons for adopting. Through a series of visits and interviews the social worker can get a complete picture of who you are and what life is like in your family. The adoption home study is a part of the decision making/child-matching process for both the prospective family and those involved at State DHR’s office of permanency. Not only can the adoption home study help the worker place a child into your home who would best fit into your family, but it will help your family to decide if now is a good time to adopt.
