Home Studies for Michigan Residents
Adoption Associates has a proven track record for professionally and efficiently completing adoption home studies. Whether you’re working with our agency for child placement, with a different adoption agency, or with an attorney, we can provide the home study that you need. Adoption Associates has completed thousands of home studies since 1990.
Common Adoption Home Study Questions
A home study is an assessment of a couple who want to adopt a child. The written home study report is a summary of this assessment. A home study is required by Michigan licensing and the county court that processes adoptions.
Adoption Associates has experienced caseworkers who are trained and qualified to complete adoptive home studies. These same caseworkers also provide post child placement services as required by the court.
There is an initial interview with your caseworker in one of our offices. Then, you will meet individually with your caseworker either in person or virtually. The final meeting will be in your home. These meetings take place over the course of several weeks. There are several topics discussed as required by Michigan licensing.
Your caseworker will help you gather documents that the State requires be included with your home study. These include police clearances, medical forms, and personal and employer references. In addition, we will also gather financial information, guardianship plans and other related information. Your caseworker will guide you through all of this!
Adoption Associates offers comprehensive adoption education that covers several topics. Most of the education we offer is via podcast, which helps busy couples complete it at their convenience. The podcasts are typically free, so there is minimal expense.
Home studies are typically completed within 8-12 weeks.

Post Placement Reports
Courts that process adoptions require that a qualified worker visit the adoptive family monthly after a child has been placed into the home.
The same caseworker who completes your home study will be ready to provide post placement services to you during this time. Reports are due monthly until finalization of the adoption.
