The Process
In order to begin the adoption process, you will need to fill out and application and send us your application fee. This will allow us to begin the adoption process, and to serve your needs as a parent. We’ll send you a letter informing you if your application gets approved. Next, you will need to have a home study conducted, then forward the relevant documents to us for review. Once we’ve reviewed your home study, Adoption Advocates will notify you as to whether you’ve been approved or denied for placement of a child.
