We get it – this feels like another hurdle to overcome in a long and difficult process. That’s why we try to make the evaluation as straightforward and supportive as possible.

Our team of psychologists is well-versed in adoption evaluations and committed to creating a safe and respectful environment for you.

The first part of the process involves scheduling an initial consultation and filling out a questionnaire to help us understand your background and specific needs.

This information provides a foundation for the next stage, a 2-hour online (or in person if necessary) meeting. During this session, we’ll discuss a variety of topics including your personal history, any previous psychological treatments, your plans for adoption, and any past experiences you’ve had with child-rearing. This meeting will also include some computer-based tests and multiple-choice questionnaires.

After the online meeting, we submit the report to the adoption agency, where they will review it to ensure it will pass the guidelines from the adoption country. It is then submitted to the adoption country as part of the overall adoption petition.
