Start your Idaho home study with one of two providers: Connected by Love or Adoption Life!
Meet Heather, Owner of Connected by Love Adoptions.
I was born and raised in Cocoa Beach, Florida. After graduating college, I traveled and moved around the US quite a bit. I have 3 “kiddos”, two of which are teens and one is an adult and is active duty in the military.
I began my career in the Counseling/Social Work field nearly 20 years ago. I was drawn to the field after emerging from a very troubled childhood and being stuck in the foster care system.
I am a passionate professional dedicated to working with families and children as they strive to create healthy home environments and providing children with the stable and safe environment they long for.
A few fun facts about me:
- I drink waaayyyy to much chai tea.
- I LOVE a good bakery.
- Most people peg me to be super outgoing and extroverted (but in reality, I am actually really introverted and a total creature of habit).
- I love traveling and find every excuse to go explore new places.
How much does a home study cost?
Connected by Love's home study fees start at $1,700. Cost depends on distance due to travel fees.

Meet Meghan Anderson, Adoption Life's Director
Meghan Anderson has been the director of Connecting Hearts (now Adoption Life), since 2018 and has worked in adoptions in various roles for over 12 years. She has a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Brigham Young University and a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University and thoroughly enjoyed her experiences at both schools. Meghan has loved working in social work in different settings, including mental health counseling, school social work and social work teaching over the course of her career but has been particularly drawn to working in adoption. She loves the connections she is able to make with all the people involved in adoption and appreciates the opportunity and responsibility of being with people in some of their most vulnerable experiences. She is motivated to take great care with all members of the adoption triad and create a more ethical and compassionate adoption experience for all. Meghan enjoys spending time with her family, including her three kids and husband and chasing them to every kind of sporting event imaginable.
