Dear Home Study Applicant,
Thank you for considering Adoption Makes Family as the agency to conduct your home study. We consider it a privilege to help families through the adoption process. Adoption is a beautiful experience and deserves the careful attention of a staff of professionals dedicated to helping you have the most positive experience possible. Your adoption starts with a home study and it is our goal to make the start of your adoption process a positive one.
Attached is the home study application for Adoption Makes Family. After completing the application, please submit it to Adoption Makes Family with your non-refundable application fee of $300.00.
A full home study packet will be sent to you with a detailed guide to help you manage the task of gathering your necessary paperwork. Attached to the home study application is a listing of the documents necessary to complete the home study. While you are waiting for your full packet, you may start to gather specific documents like certified copies of your driver's license, marriage license, birth certificate, and divorce decree (if applicable). Other documents will require specific forms and instructions that will come with your home study packet.
Once you have gathered all of your documents as delineated in the full home study packet, please send the packet of originals and a full copy, to Adoption Makes Family with your payment of $1000.
Upon receipt of your completed packet, a home study social worker will be assigned to you. This social worker will contact you within days of receiving your packet to set up your first of three visits.
It is our policy to have a home study completed within ninety-(90) days of the receipt of all of your completed documents as allotted by the State of Maryland regulations. We ask that you work with your social worker in scheduling your visits so that it is possible to meet the 90-day completion. It is often possible to have the home study completed well before the 90 days. It all depends on how quickly the adoptive family is able to gather all of the necessary documents.
To learn more about the adoption process or to ask any questions, please feel free to contact us directly @ 410)683-2100.
We will do our best to make your home study experience as positive as possible.
Again, thank you for allowing Adoption Makes Family to be a part of growing your family.
