Possible problem with home study?
|
My husband and myself are preparing to start with adoption, it will be international and we are fully prepared to wait two years for it to complete. A concern I have is with the home study - we are currently remodeling our home and I wonder if anyone would know if this might become a problem. Most of the house is completed, we have only the landscaping, living and dining rooms left to complete. Is this any reason for a home study not go on, or for it not to turn out positively?

A homestudy is more than just an inspection of your living area. It includes interviews, financial statements, fingerprints, etc., etc. The home *inspection* is what I think you are concerned about. There are lots of things that will likely happen before your home is inspected, so just take care of getting everything finished and you should be OK. If your home is still being remodeled when it's time for someone to come and inspect, you will most likely have to have them come out again. |

No, being the middle of a remodel should have minimal impact on your home study.
We moved to a new house in the middle of ours. It slowed the process down a little because they needed the floorplan and the health/fire inspections done on the new house, but it was a minor issue. |

no, the home-study is where they dig into your life and personal background. they question you. the home inspection is where there'd be concern, but that isn't a problem, you simply tell them you are re-modeling. i don't see why they would care at all. if you are worried ask your agent. |

The home study has much less to do with the layout of the home than it does with the personality, upbringing, and parenting styles of the family members living in the home. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The only things that were really "inspected" in our home was to ensure that we had the required smoke detectors, we needed to make a fire escape plan, and if we had wanted to adopt more than two children, they would have based our approval on very precise space requirements for multiple children. |

You should be fine. You should be able to complete a home study and get the process going. If the changes are really significant, you may have to do an update later, but you should be able to complete it and start the waiting game now. |

no, it should be no problem, caseworkers are very understanding, and "life happens" don't worry about it. |
