Adoptive Parents - Home Study
The Home Study is the process that qualifies you as adoptive parents. It will seem that the pile of paper is never-ending, but this process is important to make sure that all of our precious children receive a safe and loving home. It is a tremendous responsibility that we take very seriously.
The Home Study process which qualifies you as adoptive parents includes the following: criminal background checks, reference letters, adoption education, character verification, and a home visit with an adoption counselor.
Once you have returned your application and application fee, we will work with you in completing the Home Study. If you already have a Home Study from another agency, we will need to review your Home Study and verify that it meets the legal requirements and standards of the State of Florida.
Because a Home Study is valid for only one year, it is important to submit your paperwork in a timely manner. After your Home Study has expired, it can be updated for a small fee.
