What does a person look for in a home study when someone is a prospective adoptive parent?

I know they look for:


1. Smoke detectors


2. fire extinguisher


3. room for child/children


4.beds %26amp; dresser for each child


5.criminal background check


If you adopt a baby does it need its own room or can it stay in your room as long as it has a crib and dress?What does a person look for in a home study when someone is a prospective adoptive parent?
Adoption process will look at your financial statements to see if you can afford a child. Unless you already have custody of a kid or are next of kin in an emergency.





They will look to see if the house is safe. Rails on anything over 18 inches of the ground and on stairs.


Check for signs of bugs and pests.


Look in your closets to make sure you arent hiding the mess.


Look through your kitchen making sure it is clean,


Look at the exterior to see if you keep it in order.


Check the bathroom for leaks, and may even check your insulation in the attics.





They want the child safe. They already assume you have love for the child, but that really doesnt matter as much as having them safe.


They may also look at your schooling to see if you are qualified to help with homework.





Good Luck!
