Homestudy Services

New Beginnings also offers homestudy and post-adoption services to families working with a separate placing agency. Homestudy services are, of course, much more than merely the preparation of a homestudy report. The homestudy process also entails obtaining the necessary clearances, approvals and supporting paperwork that often comprise parts of the completed dossier going to the foreign country. Post-adoption services are also a necessary part of most international adoptions, as are pre and post adoption workshops and support services. As your homestudy agency, we would develop a cooperative relationship with the placing agency that would include sharing of documentation so that we can reduce redundancy of paperwork for you. Ultimately, the homestudy agency must vouch for the applicant and the adoption.

For families considering a Russian adoption, New Beginnings has an established relationship with Carolina Adoption Services for the program. This will allow the coordination of the process to be smoother and quicker.

Some families doing a Direct Adoption or a Named Child Adoption may only need a homestudy report completed. If there is no placing agency and all that is needed is a homestudy report and the requirements that entails, New Beginnings can do this as well.

Fees for Homestudy and Post-Adoption/Post-Placement services vary according to which Placement Agency you are working with and in which country.
