In Colorado, prospective adoptive parents in kinship or custodial adoption cases are required to participate in a family assessment or home study. A social worker from a licensed placement agency will conduct the home study and provide a detailed written report to the court. The purpose of the home study is for the caseworker to visit your home, interview you and educate, prepare and evaluate the adoptive family.
In kinship and custodial adoption cases, the potential adoptive parents can ask the court to waive the assessment by completing and filing the Motion to Waive the Family Assessment/Home Study (JDF 515) and the Order (JDF 516). C.R.S. § 19-5-206(g).
