Individual Forms For Adoption

Adoption Assessors

The following is a list of court-approved adoption assessors that are authorized to perform home studies. A home study must be completed before the petition will be granted. It is the petitioner's responsibility to ensure that the home study course is completed so you should make arrangements with an assessor immediately. Home studies take up to 90 days to complete. If for some reason the home study will not be completed prior to the date of your hearing, you or your attorney must contact the Court so that a continuance may be requested.
