U.S. law requires that all prospective parents complete a Home Study. Selecting a qualified social worker to complete your Home Study is a very important step for anyone considering to build their family through adoption. The KMC Adoption Support Group does not endorse any Home Study providers listed below, but provides the following names for informational purposes only. It is not considered to be a complete list. Prospective adopters must do their own research and personally select a qualified Home Study professional who can adequately prepare their Home Study documentation.
