How to Obtain A Home Study | |
| After your initial application is received by our agency, we will give you a complete packet that gives you all the necessary forms and paperwork to begin your home study and the international adoption process. State and Federal requirements state that any person planning to adopt a child must have a home study done by a Licensed Adoption Agency. ECAS is a full service adoption agency, and we provide this service for Minnesota families. After ECAS has received your application materials, one of our experienced social workers will contact you to set up a schedule for your interviews. We have a team of very efficient caseworkers who complete the home study process with you at a pace consistent with your desires, your schedule, and government requirements. There are typically three interview appointments, one of which must take place in your home. It is a requirement of DHS and INS that a description of your home and surrounding area be included in your home study. The following documents will be required as verifications for approved home studies: 1. Birth Certificates for each family member 2. Marriage Certificate 3. Clearance of Criminal
Background checks: 4. Employment Verification Letters 5. Physicians Report on each adoptive applicant 6. Reference letters
To register and receive a free information packet please fill out our Initial Application. If you already obtained INS approval and interested in receiving our free Information Package to begin the adoption process with ECAS please fill out our Initial Application or contact us for a child referral. |
