Hello. I am 25 and will be in school this semester to get some basic courses out of the way and then transfer to a university. I'm 25 and have about 3 more years of schooling left. My plan is to become a Child Protective Services Social Worker. I want to move out of my mom's house when I establish a job in the future and eventually adopt a child, probably more than one child. I want to know what was the adoption process like? Home study, before home study, meeting your child for the first time. I also have a mental disorder so I know at some point during the home study I will have to tell them about that. I plan on adopting a pre-teen or teenage girl(s). Please tell me some advice/experiences. I know they will be helpful. Thanks so much!

This is an oversimplified list, but I hope it helps. Since you are looking in to adopting older children, I am going to assume you mean out of foster care. Here are the basic steps for that.-Home study, complete physical (where you will address your disorder), background check, fingerprinting, etc.-Placement with a foster child. You do have the option in some states to foster only children who are able to be adopted because their biological parents rights have been terminated.-The actual adoption process, where depending on the state you will have another home study, court hearing, etc.Again this is just the basics. Happy to try and answer anything else!
