Program Description

Hope for Families specializes in domestic adoption home study preparation for Florida families and is one of the largest home study providers in Florida. ‣The first step in adoption is to complete a State mandated home study, which is an 8-10 page clinical report on you and your home that functionally provides a license for you to adopt. ‣‣We have a double license as an adoption agency and as a clinical Marriage and Family Therapist state credentialed for home studies so you can use our home study for domestic adoptions all over the United States.
