Rancho Cucamonga Home Study Providers

If you’re hoping to adopt a child, you’ll first need to be approved through a home study. The home study assesses a hopeful adoptive family's readiness to adopt a child — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s an important tool for the protection of children, as a home study professional aims to place children only in safe and prepared homes.

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. Follow this link to begin your home study and to learn more about the services we offer.

While American Adoptions is not licensed to complete foster care adoptions in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., we are able to refer you to local organizations who can help you with this type of process, including:

• Ark Home Foster Family Agency

Rancho Cucamonga International Adoption Agencies

Adopting a child internationally is becoming increasingly rare due to the complexities of the process. However, if you are planning to pursue this type of adoption, you’ll need to work with an experienced and appropriately licensed agency in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The nearest agency that may be able to help you with an international placement is Family Connections Christian Adoptions or International Christian Adoptions.

Rancho Cucamonga Hospitals

If you’re pregnant and creating an adoption plan with American Adoptions, you’ll also create what’s called a “birth plan” or “hospital plan.” This will outline all your choices during your labor and delivery, including where and how you want to give birth, who you want with you to support you and more.

As you consider adoption in Rancho Cucamonga, you’ll want to think about the hospital that might be convenient for you. Some nearby options for your pre- and postnatal health care include:

• San Antonio Regional Hospital
• Riverside Community Hospital
• Women's Center at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center

Rancho Cucamonga Courts

An adoptive family will spend several months completing post-placement home study follow-ups before legally finalizing the adoption in San Bernardino County court. The finalization hearing is typically short and simple. The judge will grant the final decree of adoption, and family and friends will have the opportunity to snap a photo to remember the important day.

Your adoption attorney will walk you through the process prior to finalization.

Visiting Rancho Cucamonga

Adoptive parents from out of town may spend time in Rancho Cucamonga for ICPC clearance. The prospective birth and adoptive families may meet here before, during or after placement. The families may come to Rancho Cucamonga for open adoption visits in the years to come.

Whatever your reason for visiting the area, it can be helpful to familiarize yourself with some things to do together while you’re here:
