  • 14 - Let’s Talk About The Home Study Process

    Becoming a foster parent with Amara involves going through our home study process. In this episode, we'll talk more in depth about what that actually means. We'll start by exploring why a home study is even needed. Why does the state need so much information about me and my family to become foster parents? What is the point of this long process? We'll also talk about the various components of the home study, including the types of information gathered and the topics you can expect to encounter during a home study process. Finally, we'll explain how Amara’s home study process works and the steps to complete it through our agency. Learn more at www.amarafamily.org/become-a-foster-parent.
