We partner with licensed home study providers in your State and pack the process full of perks for you.
1. Fill out your application
To get started, simply complete an application for the home study provider we partner with in your State:
Find your application by State.
2. Pay the home study fee
Once your application has been accepted by the home study provider in your state, you will pay your provider directly!
3. Complete the tasks on your dashboard
Once your invoice is paid, we'll give you access to your personalized home study dashboard, including a step-by-step task list with digital forms, digital reference requests, and a safe, secure, HIPAA-compliant place to upload your required documents.
4. Complete your adoption education
Use your Creating A Family discount code from PairTree to complete your adoption education requirements. Your home study provider will give you their list of required courses, although you are welcome to take as many courses as you'd like. You can never be too informed!
5. Host a home visit
You and your home study provider will agree on a date and time for a visit. The home visit is a chance for your home study provider to get to know you, take a tour of your home, assess any safety concerns, get your questions answered, and go over your required documents. (How to prepare for your first home visit)
6. Celebrate! 🎉
Your provider will review the final home study report with you (and in some States, ask you to sign it).
