nj homestudy

from what I understand, NJ requires an "adoption investigation" for a stepparent adoption. The judge will order it. This involves a child-abuse background check, a regular background check, letters (and physicals) from your child's pediatrician and the adopting parent's doctor, reference letters from about 7 people, and interviews in the home. We did it, it wasn't too bad. Just a lot of paperwork.
