A Home Study is a report required by adoption officials affirming
that you are suitable to be a parent(s) of a child and can provide

All families adopting internationally must receive approval from
USCIS to bring a child into the country. Approval allows you get a
visa for the child. Click here for more information about immigration
issues.
If you do not have a passport, order one now for both adoptive
parents, even if only one is planning to travel. All of your paperwork,
(home study, dossier documents, INS application, etc) must use the
same name that is on your passport. Your passport is your identification
and is an important part of your dossier. Passports can usually be
ordered from the main branch of your post office and require two passport
photos.
Your dossier is a package of documents that are presented to the
court in the country that you are adopting from. The court gives approval
for you to adopt an orphaned child. All documents for the dossier
must be notarized, certified, and apostilled.
This process is different for each country. This process is highlighted
on our individual program pages.
