A pre-adoption psychological evaluation is an assessment by a licensed psychologist to ensure prospective adoptive parents are emotionally and mentally prepared for adoption. It is often required by adoption agencies, attorneys, or courts.
A post-placement psychological evaluation is an assessment completed after a child has joined your family through adoption.
It is often required by adoption agencies or courts to confirm that both the child and parents are adjusting well, the placement is meeting everyone’s needs, and any additional support or resources can be identified. The evaluation typically includes a conversation about your family’s experiences since placement and results in a professional report shared with your agency.
Requirements vary by agency, state, and type of adoption. Some domestic, international, or private adoptions may require a psychological evaluation in addition to a home study.
The process typically includes a clinical interview, psychological questionnaires or assessments, a review of mental health history, and a written report provided to your agency or legal team.
Appointments usually take 60 to 90 minutes. In most cases, reports are completed within 5 business days, though expedited services may be available.
