Fremont Home Study Providers

All hopeful adoptive families throughout the U.S. must first complete a home study before they can be approved to adopt a child. The home study is an important assessment tool that ensures every prospective adoptive family is physically, mentally, and emotionally ready to welcome a child through adoption. This is necessary for the protection of children.

For Fremont residents, you’ll need to work with a California-licensed home study provider. American Adoptions is a licensed home study provider in the state of California. We have streamlined the process to save you time and money – allowing you to focus on the next step of your adoption process.
