If you discover that you need a home study completed in Indiana, MLJ Adoptions International can help you! We are an Indiana Licensed Child Placing Agency and are accredited by the Council on Accreditation to complete Hague accredited home studies. Our staff of experienced social workers and trained adoption professionals is prepared and able to complete your home study in a timely and professional manner. Our goal is to confidently represent you, your family and all you have to offer a waiting child in an honest, open and caring manner.
All Indiana home study agencies are required to follow state guidelines for home study content, background (criminal, child abuse, sex offender) checks, physical health assurances, and safety of the home. Consequently, the process can seem confusing! However, MLJ will guide you in collecting the required paperwork, filling out the necessary forms and preparing your home for the safety inspection. We are always available for any questions you may have.
Additionally, our friendly staff will help make your interview process a comfortable experience characterized by teamwork, open sharing of information and answering any questions you may have about the process. We make appointments that best fit your family’s schedule; weekend and evening appointments are available.
MLJ Adoptions International can help you with international adoption home studies, domestic adoption home studies, kinship and relative adoption home studies, and step-parent adoption home studies. We serve all areas of Indiana.
To begin your home study process with MLJ, please contact us. Once you have completed your application and paid your deposit, we will begin assisting you with the home study process. Your initial interview will be scheduled just as soon as you completed the state required paperwork and security clearances.
We would love to work with you to complete your Indiana home study! Our services are confidential, professional, timely and empathetic. Let MLJ Adoptions be YOUR Indiana home study agency!
