What’s Included in a Home Study in Arkansas?
Many families ask: "What is required for a home study?" While there is a lot of detail, it mostly boils down to four main parts:
- The Paperwork: You will gather basics like birth certificates, marriage licenses, and financial records.
- Background Checks: Everyone in your house must clear the Arkansas Child Maltreatment Registry and an FBI fingerprint check.
- The Home Visit: A social worker will visit to ensure your home is safe. This includes checking for smoke detectors and locked firearms.
- The Interviews: We will sit down and chat about your background and your plans for parenting.
It is very rare for a family to "fail" a home study. Our goal isn't to find reasons to say no; it is to help you get ready. If we spot a safety issue, we will simply help you fix it so you can move forward.
