Simple question

Part of it depends on what type of adoption you are seeking. International vs. domestic vs foster to adopt all have some different requirements. But mostly, the purpose of a homestudy is to make sure you have no barrier crimes against you, to make sure you can provide a safe, loving home for a child, and that you can potentially be a good parent to a child. Your home will be inspected for safety and overall cleanliness, but they won't be inspecting under the bed to be sure all the dustbunnies are gone. They want to make sure you have running water, smoke detectors, a place for a child to sleep, etc. They'll also want to know your upbringing, your income, to be sure you can adequately provide for a child (you don't have to be rich!) your parenting philosphy, etc. Its basically a chance to get to know you -- afterall, you are strangers to anyone who is going to be placing the life of their child in your hands. Don't fret it though. Be yourself, and be honest, and you'll be just fine.

Ok, thanks for the advice. It's seems all I need to do is get a steady job and work hard enough to keep it. Everything else should take care of it's self.
