Home Study Or Dossier

 

Homestudy Agencies or Dossier
Prospective adoptive parent/s may complete either a dossier, or proceed with a homestudy. The homestudy is a good option for couples who have already finished one
or who are also considering traditional adoption but is NOT required (a savings of $1400.00 plus mileage or more).

Below is a list of qualified agencies for a domestic adoption homestudy:
