- Adoption Process
- 1. Gather Information and Ask Questions. You’ve taken the first step! As you continue through the process, we encourage you to collect information from various sources. Check adoption websites and libraries. Ask questions…and if you don’t understand the answers…ask again! It’s important that you choose the agency best suited to meet your specific needs. We encourage you to move at a comfortable pace. We’re here to answer your questions, and we want you to feel confident in your adoption decisions. 2. Attend Pre-Service Classes. One of the first and most important steps you will complete is pre-service training. Required by the State of Ohio, the classes are designed to educate you about the children available for adoption, and to prepare you to parent them. We offer the classes throughout the year at various times and locations- Click here to view the schedules. 3. Submit Your Adoption Application. During the first session of training you will receive an application packet. Fill in the application form as completely and accurately as possible and return it to Northeast Ohio Adoption Services. If you have questions we are available to assist you- ask your pre-service trainer or call our office. 4. Home Study (a.k.a Family Assessment). Once your application has been received, a NOAS social worker will be assigned to begin your Home Study. The process, which usually takes 4 to 6 months to complete, is designed to help us gain an understanding of you, your family, and your environment. Throughout the study we will be working with you to determine what type of child (or children) will be the best match for you. 5. Matching Process - Finding Your Child(ren). Once your home study has been approved, you are ready for the next step. Keeping in mind the preferences you expressed during your home study, and working closely with you, your NOAS worker will begin the search to find a child(ren) for your family. Children are what this is all about! From the first conta
