Foster adoption in Arizona is more than growing your family; it’s about changing a child’s world. It’s about offering stability and giving a child a place to call home, finally.
If you have ever thought about adoption but felt uncertain, you are not alone. Questions and doubts are completely normal. However, you don’t have to walk this path alone.
At Building Arizona Families, we are here to guide you, from that very first question to the incredible moment your adoption is finalized.
Decide if Foster Care Adoption Is Right for You
Adopting from foster care means saying “yes” to a child who cannot safely return to their birth family. Many of these children are older, part of sibling groups, or have faced difficult experiences — but they are also resilient, loving, and full of potential.
Ask yourself:
- Am I open to welcoming an older child or siblings?
- Can I be patient and understanding with a child who’s experienced trauma?
- Do I have a stable, nurturing home environment?
If you are nodding your head, you may already have the foundation of what it takes to make a life-changing difference.

Complete Your Adoption Home Study
This step may sound intimidating but think of it as an opportunity to share your story. The Adoption Home Study ensures every child is placed in a safe, stable environment — not a “perfect” one.
It includes:
- Interviews with a social worker
- Background checks
- Health and financial documentation
- A home safety review
Remember, the goal isn’t to judge — it’s to make sure you and your future child are set up for success.
Finding the Right Match
Once your adoption home study is approved, the exciting part begins! Together, we’ll explore profiles of children waiting to be adopted and look for the right connection.
Placement and Transition
When you’ve been matched with a child or children, you will start to get to know each other through pre-placement visits and ongoing support from your caseworker. This is a beautiful, emotional phase — a time to bond, build trust, and watch a new sense of family take root.
Finalizing Your Adoption
After your child has been home for about six months, you’ll reach one of the most joyful days of your life — Finalization. That’s when your adoption becomes official, and your family is legally complete. But remember — this isn’t the end of your story; it’s the beginning of a new one.
Support After Adoption
Parenting a child who has faced loss or trauma comes with unique rewards and challenges. That’s why Building Arizona Families continues to stand with you after finalization.
We offer post-adoption support, resources, and a caring community to help your family grow stronger together because a real family is built not just through paperwork, but through love, patience, and lifelong connection.
