Part of the process to adopt a child from foster care is the homestudy review. Af- ter completing the Massachusetts Approach to Partnerships in Parenting (MAPP) training course, your social worker will conduct in-home interviews that will help gather information and get to know you and your family.

From these meetings, your social worker will write a narrative, also called a homestudy, about your family.
