How long does it take to have a home study written?

Posted Mon, 12/29/2008 - 19:27 by Anonymous

That depends upon the type of adoption. If you’re seeking to become a foster or adopt-foster parent, that normally takes up to 30 - 90 days to complete. A domestic private placement adoption can take 30 - 120 days in most cases, and international typically can take 60 days to a year. The typical barriers that hold up an home study are:

  • Background checks
  • Families not getting their paperwork in on time
  • Family not accomplishing their required education
  • Poor communication between the family and professional
