Providing adoption home studies for Arkansas


An adoption home study in Arkansas is a required evaluation of a prospective parent or parents to make sure they can provide a safe, stable, and loving home for a child before an adoption can move forward.
I have years of experience providing caring, compasionate, unbiased, and above all, fair home visits.
I am a licensed social worker that conducts adoption homestudies. The homestudies I conduct are for private adoptions and can be used throughout the United States for domestic adoptions AND International adoptions.
I will interview you and household members, inspect your home, and gather documentation; then write a formal report used in court to determine if you meet the legal criteria to be approved to adopt.
I conduct Arkansas State Police checks, FBI checks, and Child Maltreatment checks of those in your home. I will also gather references to determine if you meet the legal criteria to adopt.
Adoption homestudies are legally required before a child can be placed in your home. Many agencies will not speak to prospective parents until they are 'homestudy ready.' Once approved , your Arkansas Adoption home study is valid for one year.
My name is Kimberly “Kym” Palmer. Born in Arkansas, raised all over the world as a military brat I returned back as prodigal daughter to Arkansas to graduate University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I started Kindred Spirits Adoption Services in 2007, because inviting someone into your home and sharing your personal information can be very intimidating. I want to put you at ease and allow you to focus on simply creating your family. Adopting can be exciting, highly emotional, and intimidating at the same time. As an adoptive mom myself, I have been there!
