Adoption
Home Study

LET US TELL YOUR STORY

Your journey to parenthood begins with your personal story. A home study is an in-depth look to assess the suitability of a prospective adoptive family. It includes interviews, background checks, training, home visits, and assessments of your family’s readiness to adopt.

We offer domestic home study and post-placement services for families pursuing private adoption or adoption from foster care. Beyond the home study assessment, HOAA offers ongoing support for your family’s lifelong journey by providing connections to resources through community events, training sessions, support groups, and therapeutic services. We also offer clinical consultations, coordination with legal and placement agencies, and access to adoption finance resources.

We understand that the adoption journey is both exciting and emotional. Our comprehensive home study services are designed to provide you with the guidance, support, and expertise needed to navigate this important process. Our experienced professionals work closely with you to assess your unique family situation, ensuring that your home study reflects your strengths and readiness to welcome a child into your lives. We take the time to address any questions or concerns you may have, offering personalized consultations and thorough evaluations that meet state requirements. Our goal is to help you create a safe and nurturing environment for your future child, paving the way for a successful adoption. Together, we can turn your dreams of parenthood into reality.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions 

WHAT OUR CLIENTS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS THINK ABOUT US

HOME STUDY FEES

The home study is a required step in the adoption process, as it ensures the safety and suitability of a family for adoption. Our home study fees cover comprehensive assessments,  interviews, and a detailed home visit. To reduce barriers to adoption, fees are not incurred all at once but are charged incrementally as services are rendered. We can also provide resources to help you explore potential funding or grant options.

SHARING YOUR HOME STUDY

HOAA is licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) to provide adoption services throughout the State of Florida. All services are provided in compliance with Florida State Law and DCF regulations. Domestic adoption home studies are written in compliance with State requirements and can be used for the adoption of a child anywhere in the United States. Some states, however, require prospective adoptive parents to become licensed foster parents in order to adopt. Families should consult their home study provider before searching in all states. We provide international post-placement services to current clients only; HOAA is not accepting new international adoption clients.
