Adoption Planning Questionnaire (APQ)
This questionnaire will allow your family to create your own adoption plan. You will make selections such as the race (s) of the baby you are looking for, adoption budget, degree of contact ECT. Once the APQ is filled out and sent in we will review your answers with your family to see how this will affect your family wait time.

Home Study Information
The home study is a basic overview of your family's life. It highlights items such as marriage, relationships, interaction with children, your home and neighborhood, and your childhood. The home study helps the courts and your adoption agency determine if a stable environment exists for a family to receive an adoptive placement. The home study also helps educate the adoptive family about what to expect with adoption and raising an adopted child.
