HOME STUDY SERVICES

Learn More

We offer comprehensive home study and post placement services for families in Maryland and Virginia who are adopting through a country program offered by another accredited child-placing agency or through private domestic adoption.

Our home study services include: guidance through the application process, meetings with a licensed social worker, and notarized home study reports. Additionally, we will assist your family through Hague-compliant preadoption education to ensure you are as prepared as possible for the unique challenges you may experience as an adoptive family.

Our post placement services include: meetings with a licensed social worker, post placement reports that meet the standards of your state of residence and state or country of adoption, and court reports as needed for re-adoption or finalization in your state.
