Domestic Adoption: For domestic adoption, you apply as soon as your home study is complete and your application is ready to be shown to birth parents.
International Adoption: Applicants submit an application after their child has been identified. If the country you are adopting from has an unusually short time period between when you receive the referral, and when you travel, you may apply any time after your home study is completed. In that case, please note this in your application, and state when you expect to receive your referral and when you expect to bring your child(ren) home.
Adoption Through Foster Care: Apply at any time after your home study is complete. Adoptions through foster care are an exception to our placement eligibility requirement.
