Adoption Homestudies

Wanting to Adopt? Pregnant?

If you live in the U.S. and are going to adopt, you will need an adoption homestudy. Many states require homestudies before a child can be placed in your custody as adoptive parents. It is recommended that you complete a homestudy as one of the first steps in your adoption process.

State homestudy requirements vary, but generally an adoption caseworker will have you submit an intake form, and interview you to help her/him evaluate if you are qualified to adopt according to the guidelines of your state. Usually background checks, financial reviews, and at least one home visits are part of the process.

To find an adoption social worker or adoption agency who can help with your homestudy, please fill out the following form and you will be contacted within 2 business days:
