Adoption Agencies, Information, and Resources in Providence

Our use of the terms “putting up” or “giving up” does not reflect how we feel about adoptive placement. These terms remain the most widely used search terms for those who are considering adoption for their baby, and we wish to reach all who seek this important information.

Completing the Home Study in Providence

One of the key aspects of every adoption process is the home study assessment.  The purpose of a home study is to confirm the capability and stability of prospective Adoptive Parents to have a child placed into their home. There are certain Adoption Home Study Requirements for each state. The process usually includes providing documents to confirm information as well as furnishing family history, health and financial information, and personal background. Here are some legally qualified home study providers licensed to conduct home studies for those who live in Providence, Rhode Island or the Providence County region:

Adoption Options (program of JFS)
401-331-5437
Adoption Options is the nonprofit, nonsectarian adoption program of Jewish Collaborative Services. Licensed in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Adoption Options has offices in Providence and Attleboro.

 Alliance for Children
877-402-3678
Alliance for Children has a thriving home study and post-placement program. It is designed for families who live in a state where we are licensed to conduct home studies and their placement agency is not. We are proud of the partnerships and relationships we have built with other agencies and work well with them to help make your adoption goals become a reality.
