Home Study/pre-placement Assessment
A home study/pre-placement assessment is an opportunity to investigate if adoption is the best option for you, your family and a child. I like to describe it as a learning experience. You get to learn about the adoption issues and the agency gets to learn about your ideas about parenting, your family life and your abilities to provide for the needs of a child.
A Domestic Adoption
A domestic adoption is completed through an agency, attorney or direct placement in the United States. If your child is born outside of NC, an interstate compact must be completed. An international adoption is when the child in born outside of the United States. The finalization of the adoption occurs in many of the foreign countries while for other countries the adoption must be finalized in the NC courts. There are pros and cons to each option.
Adoption Criteria
The social worker has certain criteria that must be included in the home study/ assessment as set out in the State Statutes and if you are hoping to adopt internationally, each international country has its own requirements.
Licensure
We are licensed in North Carolina. It is important for you to look for an agency that is licensed in your home state.

BITCOIN TO THE MOON BTC
My husband and I have been adoptive parents for over 19 years. We have a total of 8 adopted children. The last 3 that we adopted, we had our home study done and post placement visits done thru Home Study Services of NC with Anne Liddicote.
My husband and I started the adoption journey 7 months ago. Home Study Services of NC came highly recommended to us and did not disappoint. We found Anne Liddicote to be warm, engaging, professional and put all of our fears at ease.
We have been working with Anne Liddicote of Home Study Services of NC since March of 2016. Anne completed a home study for our international adoption, and we have been beyond pleased with her services.
We have had the privilege of working with Anne who is an exceptional, knowledgeable, credible, and caring social worker. She came highly recommended to us from prominent attorneys throughout the triangle and surrounding communities.
