For us, after they reviewed our application and other document they called us to set up our first homestudy interview. We did 3 different interviews, jointly, separately and one at the house.

I think most places work like Amber said. They will probably contact you to set up a homestudy appt/visit. Good luck!

You'll be rolling along in no time. I imagine they will set up an appointment for the homestudy right away. In the mean time if your anything like me you can start pulling together documents that they will want to see you can usually get that information from the website under the program you plan on doing.

Good Luck and please feel free to ask any questions and keep us posted!!!! We wanna know all the details.

In my domestic adoption experience we had to do 10 hours of classes before the homestudy was started. But, it sounds like most other people just start the homestudy.

Hope it goes by quickly for you. Get ready for a TON of paperwork.

Congrats!! We just sent ours off also last week. Our next step is our 2 day class and then the home study gets started.
Did they ask you for your documents with the application? Our agency did, so I am not sure what else they will want.
Keep us updated!!

Hugs,
Nicole

No, they gave me a checklist with my application and I sent back what was on that first part. Nothing about taking any classes though!
