What is the home study process at PairTree?

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. Select your home study package

Once your application has been accepted by the home study provider in your state, you can select your home study package: Home Study Core or Complete. 

3.  Pay your invoice

After your package decision, you will pay the invoice. You will pay the home study fees directly to your provider. If you select PairTree Complete, you will pay PairTree directly for the additional outreach benefits. 

4. Complete the tasks on your dashboard

Once your invoice is paid, we'll give you access to your personalized home study dashboard that includes a step-by-step task list with digital forms, digital reference requests and a safe, secure, HIPAA-compliant place to upload your required documents.

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). Once approved, you'll receive a confirmation letter to upload to PairTree Connect (if applicable) and send to any other professionals supporting your adoption journey.
