Home Study Services
American Adoptions has designed a home study process that is faster, clearer, and accepted nationwide. We’ve completed thousands of home studies and help families avoid delays by combining:
- Approval in all 50 states – Our home studies are recognized across the country, giving you full flexibility to pursue an adoption anywhere without starting over.
- Streamlined documentation support – We give you checklists and one-on-one guidance to avoid the paperwork pitfalls that delay most families.
- Trained, licensed social workers – Every evaluation is handled by a professional who understands both the legal and emotional complexities of adoption.
Because we’re a full-service agency—not just a home study provider—we also know what makes a home study truly adoption-ready, not just legally sufficient.
The Home Study Process: What to Expect
Our proven process takes you through every step, from document collection to final approval:
- Initial Consultation – We explain the process and timelines so you know what to expect.
- Background Checks – We’ll help you complete all necessary fingerprinting and records submissions.
- Documentation Support – From birth certificates to financial records, we walk you through every requirement.
- In-Home Visit & Interviews – A licensed social worker meets with you and your family to assess your environment and answer questions.
- Home Inspection – We ensure your home meets state safety guidelines and provide support if updates are needed.
- Final Report & Approval – Once your home study is complete, we’ll finalize and deliver your official approval.
Get Approved, Get Ready
Adoption moves fast—sometimes overnight. Without an approved home study, you won’t be eligible when the opportunity you’ve hoped for appears.
That’s why we help families get prepared quickly, with:
- Clear documentation checklists
- Step-by-step education
- Emotional support through every phase
- Coordination with your broader adoption plan
