When you get your home study done, you'll have to address how your pets will fit into your life as a parent. They don't tell you you have to get rid of them, the question is how you're going to handle potential dangers/ health threats that the pets might pose to the child.

We have 2 dogs that are very important to us. We just did some research on how to acclimate them to a child's entry into the house, talked to our SW about it when the homestudy was done, and everything's fine. If you can demonstrate to the agency that you've given the matter some thought and have a plan about how you'll handle the pets and any issues they could create, it shouldn't be a problem.
