It’s a common misconception that individuals must first become foster parents and foster to adopt before adopting from foster care. There is a direct Arizona foster care adoption process through a comprehensive home study. The home study process ensures that adoptive parents are well-prepared and equipped to provide a loving and stable environment for their future child.
THE HOME STUDY PROCESS
The home study is a crucial step in the adoption journey and prevents the need to foster to adopt children from the foster care system. Building Arizona Families ensures that the process is efficient, thorough, and supportive. Prospective parents in Arizona undergo assessments and interviews to confirm they meet the requirements for adoption. The program’s experienced team is there to assist every step of the way, providing the necessary resources and guidance to navigate the process successfully.

ADOPTION OF CHILDREN FROM FOSTER CARE IS TRANSFORMATIVE
For loving Arizona families who desire to grow their families through adoption, adopting from foster care is a rewarding and transformational journey. It is not only a transformative experience for prospective parents but also a life-changing opportunity for the children awaiting loving homes. Vulnerable children who have been victims of abuse and/or neglect experience healing and new life opportunities when provided with a safe, stable home and loving family.
