Adopting a child in Arizona can assist you in growing your family and providing a loving home to a child. If you’re considering adoption, you may have questions and/or concerns about adoption eligibility and the adoption process. At Building Arizona Families (BAF), we are here to guide you and walk with you every step of the way.
Who is Eligible to Adopt?
To adopt through Building Arizona Families, prospective adoptive parents must:
- Be at least 23 years old, with a minimum of 10 years between the youngest adoptive parent and the child.
- Complete a home study.
- Pass background checks and meet health, stability, and financial requirements as defined in the Arizona Revised Statutes.
Steps in Adoption with BAF
Attend an Orientation Meeting: Learn about adoption programs and choose the right path for your family. We hold virtual webinars that you can from the comfort of your own home. We have our Orientation Meeting dates posted on our website.
Complete a Home Study: An Adoption Home Study is vital to the adoption process. It includes in-home interviews, medical and financial checks, reference reviews, and background checks to ensure a stable, loving home for a child. Adoption Home Study interviews with all family members 6 years and older assist in ensuring that adoptive parents can provide a safe, loving, and caring home for a child.
If you work with an Arizona Adoption Agency like BAF, you will have the tools to prepare for your Adoption Interviews. Having prepared your required adoption documentation is one of the best things to do. It will also assist you in keeping yourself organized.
