Chesapeake Home Study Providers

Before any adoption — whether that’s a foster care adoption, an international adoption or a domestic infant adoption — you’ll be required to complete a home study. Home studies include three phases: a documentation phase, a home inspection and interviews with each member of your family. It can be intimidating, but these trusted Virginia home study providers will make it painless:

• Loving Families

• Cradle of Hope

Chesapeake International Adoption Agencies

American Adoptions works to complete private domestic adoptions across the country, but we only work within the United States. If you want to adopt a child from another country, Virginia families can contact the following international adoption agencies:

Chesapeake Hospitals

If you’re a family traveling to Chesapeake to adopt or if you are a pregnant Chesapeake woman making an adoption plan, it’s likely that your child’s birth will take place at one of the following locations.

Chesapeake Courts

Leaving from the hospital with a baby is not the end of the adoption process. A Virginia judge will have to grant you legal custody in your finalization hearing at the Chesapeake General District Court. Many families look forward to this day for years, so don’t forget to bring a camera!
