Are you Eligible?
You must meet certain requirements to adopt a newborn. A few common requirements include:

Each adoption program has its rules, so learning more about them can help you save time later.
Choosing a Reliable Adoption Agency
It is important to choose a reliable adoption agency. Look for one that is licensed and has a good reputation. Agencies like Building Arizona Families have an A+ rating and can guide you.
The Home Study Process
Your adoption social worker will meet with you for at least four hours over at least two visits. At least two hours will take place in your home. During this time, you will need to provide some important documents, such as:
- Court-issued birth certificates
- Court-issued marriage licenses and divorce decrees
- The previous year’s tax return
- Five letters of reference (two from family and three from friends)
- An Autobiography
- CPS clearance
- Fingerprint clearance
- Proof of adoption education
