New York, North Carolina Home Study Adopting and Adoption

Adoption Home Study for New York, North Carolina, NY, NC
In New York or North Carolina, a home study—known as a pre-placement assessment—is conducted by a licensed social worker supervised under a licensed child placing agency. This applies to all states where the prospective parent(s) reside. New York and North Carolina (NY, NC) home study adoption courses are now being coordinated by Hopscotch Adoptions. For adoption pre-placement assessment in NY or NC states, please contact us soon for expert services.

A completed and approved home study is given to Hopscotch Adoptions for additional review and approval, to the BCIS, to the foreign country, and sometimes to the court of the state in which the prospective parents reside. Hopscotch cooperates with approved local home study agencies to conduct necessary investigations on each prospective adoptive family member over the age of 18. We take our responsibility to place children in safe, stable and nurturing families very seriously.

For New York and North Carolina (NY, NC) adoptions, home studies should be written in plain language, as they will be translated for foreign courts. Do not use abbreviations and colloquial expressions. Generally, international home studies are between 7 to 8 pages total and the social worker's agency license is attached to the last page. Your approved home study agency will be provided instructions and a guide to assist in preparing a suitable home study.  Hopscotch Adoptions, Inc., must approve all home studies prior to finalization.
