What is a Pre Adoption Assessment?

Pre adoption assessments are used to help parents learn more about themselves and their relationship and gain the confidence and skills needed to take on the wonderful, life-altering challenge of adoption.

What Skills are Assessed?

During pre adoption assessments, we invite parents to ask personalized questions about themselves and their relationship for us to consider along with the general adoption-readiness question. The answers to these questions are only for you, and are not included in the formal report we prepare for the adoption unless you request it. The purpose of this assessment is identify if these parents ready to adopt. And if they are not ready, we will help identify and guide them to seeking additional support to help ensure readiness.
