What is a home study?

A home study is an important part of the adoption process in Delaware. It is a thorough process that requires a social worker to come into the adoptive family’s home and assess their living and financial situation, parent-child interactions, and other factors that will affect the success of the adoption. The home study provides important information about an adoptive family, such as their motivations for adopting and their ability to meet the needs of the child. The home study will also include background checks and references from family members and friends. The purpose of the home study is to ensure that an adoptive family is safe and prepared to provide a healthy and supportive environment for the child. The home study process should be completed before the family is allowed to proceed with adoption proceedings. The home study should also be updated over time to make sure the family continues to meet the standards necessary to provide a healthy home for an adopted child.
