Home study
Whether you are applying to become a foster or adoptive parent or are a relative caring for a child, you are required to become a licensed resource family. The licensing process usually is completed within five months. This includes a Home Study Assessment Packet completed by our agency that consists of:
- A completed resource family application
- State, federal and local criminal history checks for all adult household members Child abuse record information background checks for all adult household members
- Comprehensive psychosocial evaluation Reference checks (personal, medical, employment, school/child care center) for all for members in the household
- Pre-service training (PRIDE) for resource family applicants Life-safety inspection Interviews with household members
- Review of required documentation
