The Home Study is a major part of the adoption process designed to help you. America
World, as well as the U.S.C.I.S. and the foreign government, assess your ability
to provide a loving home for an orphan, your motivation for adopting internationally
and your expectations of your adoptive child. It is a written report that provides
a comprehensive picture of your background, current family life and how this new
child will be integrated into your family. It is designed to be a non-judgmental,
educational and fruitful process. We hope you have fun.
America World is currently licensed to provide home study services in a number of
states. Below is a partial list of states where we are licensed and other home study
agencies in those states in which we are not licensed. Please check with America
World prior to starting your home study process as we need to give approval for
the agency you are desiring to use. We also have a more extensive list of agencies
that we would be glad to offer to you if you do not see your state or a region of
your state listed.
