Can Someone Please Explain to Me What a Home Study Is?

If you already have your home study you can skip this article; congrats you are one step closer to growing your family. However, if you are newly considering adoption as a path to grow your family, you’ve likely heard this phrase thrown around.

So what is a home study? A home study is a required comprehensive evaluation of anyone considering becoming adoptive parents, that’s you. This evaluation includes assessing your home, background, finances, life, health, relationship, and home inspection. We will be honest, the process is somewhat invasive, but necessary to assess for fitness of moving forward as prospective adoptive parents.
