A home study consists of:
- A series of visits with your adoption social worker, including at least one visit to the family home
- A medical form for all members of the household, completed by your family physician
- References from non-relatives, who have known you at least two years
- An autobiography which will include significant happenings in your life and your feelings associated with adopting a child
- Copies of birth certificate(s), marriage license (if applicable), divorce decrees (if applicable)
- Verification of employment or income
- Criminal, Sex Offender, and Child Protective Services Record Checks
- Agreement of Non-Use of Physical Punishment for a child placed in your care
Additional requirements will vary depending on the type of adoption you are considering, whether it be international or domestic (relative, open, parental placement, or agency).
