Children's Service Society

A home study or adoptive evaluation is a state required documentation process that covers your readiness and ability to adopt. A licensed social worker will visit with your family in your home. This is an excellent time for the worker to get to know you and understand your motivation to adopt. Although it may appear overwhelming and possibly invasive at first, you will begin to see that it can actually be an positive experience where you are able to share your family's strengths. Your home study worker is there to help you bring your child home rather than hinder you in the process. Children's Service Society conducts domestic and international home studies for families in the state of Utah.

In addition to home studies, adoptive families are required to have supervisory visits following the placement of the child in their home. Children's Service Society provides Post Placement Supervisory services for a fee of $250 per visit and report.
