YOUR first step to adopting in Florida and beyond
What is a home study?
A home study is the required first step in any adoption. It’s the process that makes you legally eligible to adopt, whether you plan to adopt in Florida or anywhere in the country.
At Connecting Hearts Adoption, we guide you through every step with clarity and care. Our home studies focus on real-life preparation while giving us the opportunity to truly get to know you and your family. You’ll feel informed, supported, and confident as you move forward.

We keep the process organized and manageable so you can move forward feeling informed and confident every step of the way.
How long does it take to complete a home study?
