At Adoptions Plus, we love to do homestudies! Many of our staff are adoptive parents and have experienced the process from the inside. We provide homestudies with sensitivity, respect, insight and efficiency. We also help to get it where it needs to go.

There is no wait to start a homestudy. You start with an application. When your application is approved you receive the remainder of the homestudy paper work. You can do the paperwork on your time schedule. We have had families return it to us within a few days and then some that takes months. When your paperwork is in and you have met with a staff member, you will be assigned a counselor or social worker who will do your interviews and home visit. The minimum requirement for most studies is an individual interview with each person living in the home, a couple interview and a visit to your home. It often involves more meetings and adoption training. A comfortable time frame for a homestudy is about two to four months from start to finish.

We provide you with an itemized checklist (see attached) of all the necessary paperwork. Some of it we provide and you simply fill out. Some of it you gather for us. Our counseling staff and office staff can walk you through every piece of paper.
