What Is Home Study Services? 

A home study is a type of assessment and screening of a prospective adoptive parent’s home and life. If you are hoping to adopt, you must have a home study completed and active before placement. A home study is a great tool for educating yourself and preparing for adoption. 

Adopting families or individuals who want to adopt will have to schedule a home study in the state where they currently live. We offer home study services throughout the entire state of Indiana. 

How Do We Offer The Best Home Study Services? 

  • The first step towards ensuring a great home study service is background verification. 
  • Local, state, and federal governments perform this background verification. 
  • This verification process checks whether someone has a criminal record. 
  • It is very important to find out how fit you are to raise a child. That’s why your local government will ask you to submit your medical and mental health records. 
  • There is a chance you may be going through physical examinations to prove that you will be a good parent. 
  • The government needs to check your income details before granting you permission to raise a baby. So, the government will ask you to submit your tax forms. 
  • If they feel they need some extra documents to verify your financial situation, they can ask for that too. 
  • You may need to provide your identity cards, marriage license, and other supporting documents. 
  • The cost of the entire home study services will not break your bank at all.

Positive Adoption Language Disclaimer –

We understand that using words such as “give up” or “put up” to describe adoption can be hurtful and inappropriate. However, we must include these words in our blog posts to appear in expectant moms’ Google search results. While we promote positive adoption language, many expectant moms that come to us at first do not understand what that means. Therefore, our blog posts may use the language they understand, such as “how do I give up my baby for adoption” or “how do I put up my baby for adoption,” in order to explain how to create an adoption plan for their baby.
