What Factors Might We Consider As We Select An Agency With Whom To Complete A Homestudy?
If you are considering working with Full Circle and are having your homestudy completed elsewhere, please obtain a homestudy through a licensed agency rather than an individual social worker because under Massachusetts’ regulations, we must work with a licensed agency. A homestudy serves as an opportunity for you to receive some one-to-one education about adoption. The homestudy period is also a time when you can carefully consider your comfort level with various aspects of the adoption process. Full Circle offers additional programming including a monthly educational program “Family Building Through Adoption” (free to clients) in addition to the homestudy process itself. You are not required to attend; the program is offered as an additional service to you. Full Circle’s social workers are experienced in adoption. Most are adoptive parents as well and know the path you are traveling from personal experience. You want to benefit, as much as possible, from any wisdom they can share. Mas
