What can you expect during an Adoption Home Study? As a hopeful adoptive parent, is the Adoption Home Study causing you stress? There’s no need to worry. If you decide to work with an adoption professional like Building Arizona Families, you can navigate the process smoothly.
BAF is a licensed home study provider, and we can help you understand what to expect during an Adoption Home Study. An Adoption Home Study is necessary for all adoptions to make sure hopeful adoptive families are ready to adopt.
Documentation
The first step in the home study is submitting a list of required documents. These documents are collected, submitted, and reviewed before your first in-home visit from your social worker.
Undergo the Interview
At BAF, we are here to help and ensure you’re ready to welcome a child into your home. The interview is a relaxed, polite conversation between you and your social worker. (It’s not a job interview.) It lets you tell your home study professional about your life, dreams, motivations, and personality.
Some of the questions asked in the interview include:
- What are your motivations for adopting?
- What are your feelings about the adoption?
- And much more…
Your Home Tour
During a home study property tour, the focus is on the adoptee’s safety. Your home doesn’t have to be perfect. Your social worker’s primary concern is ensuring it’s clean, healthy, and safe. Your social worker may offer tips to help you be better prepared for your adoptive placement.
Follow-Up Visits Post-Placement
The last step in the adoption process is the follow-up. Your BAF home study professional will schedule brief visits to your home after the placement. These follow-ups are called post-placement visits.
