What is a Home Study?
A home study is a review of prospective adoptive parents that they must go through to legally adopt. The study will typically include discussions of the parent’s marriage, parenting techniques, lifestyle, financial abilities, health, and background investigations.
Part of the home study is for the families to also complete training and preparation courses that will help them prepare for being adoptive parents. Once the home study is completed, the family gets the opportunity to view the type up of the assessment.
How long it takes to complete a home study has some variables. These variables are hinged on how long it takes the family to turn in their completed paperwork, and how quickly the background check and references are received. Typically a home study is valid for one year.
