Evaluation Online

We understand this can feel like another hurdle, which is why our team is committed to creating a respectful and professional experience for all prospective parents. Our process is designed to be as clear and convenient as possible.
What Is a Pre-Adoption Evaluation?
A pre-adoption psychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment required by many adoption agencies and countries for international and domestic adoptions. Its purpose is to assess the emotional and psychological readiness of prospective parents for the challenges and responsibilities of raising an adopted child. The evaluation includes clinical interviews and standardized questionnaires to provide a complete picture of your suitability for adoption.
Your Online Evaluation Process
Initial Consultation and Questionnaire
The process begins when you schedule your initial consultation. You will receive a detailed questionnaire to complete beforehand, which helps our team understand your personal history, background, and motivations before your main session.
The Comprehensive Virtual Interview
Next, you will participate in a two-hour virtual meeting with a licensed psychologist. During this session, we will discuss your personal history, relationship dynamics, motivations for adoption, and previous child-rearing experiences in a supportive environment.
Psychological Testing
During your virtual session, you will also complete computer-based psychological tests. These standardized instruments provide objective data that complements the clinical interview, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of your psychological functioning and parental readiness.
Report Submission
Following the evaluation, our psychologist prepares a comprehensive report summarizing the findings. This document, typically completed within two weeks, is provided to you to submit to your adoption agency, fulfilling a critical part of your adoption dossier.
