XXXXXX POLICIES. Adoptive Parents have read, accept, and agree to comply with the following additional Xxxxxx policies to the extent applicable to their adoption:
3.1 Home Studies
3.1.1 Xxxxxx offers adoption preparation and home study services but does not under any circumstance guarantee the approval of a home study. Xxxxxx is dedicated to making placements that it considers to be in the best interest of the child. Applicants who wish to adopt a child (“applicants”) must be in good physical and mental health and ready and able to provide a safe and nurturing environment for an adopted child. They must be capable of dealing with the challenges inherent in the process of adopting a child internationally.
3.1.2 All applicants must provide complete and accurate information on their adoption application. Applicants must demonstrate that they are in good physical and mental health with a normal life expectancy. If drug/alcohol or other addictions/dependencies are a part of the applicants’ history, they must demonstrate at least three (3) consecutive years of recovery in addition to participation in either a specialized addictions treatment program and/or a twelve-step program. Further, if the applicants have an alcohol or other drug-related arrest and conviction or plea at any time in their history, the applicant(s) must provide arrest and court records and five (5) years must have elapsed since the time of the arrest. In either case, in order to make a complete assessment, Xxxxxx reserves the right to request an additional independent evaluation completed by an appropriate specialist.
3.1.3 Home studies conducted by Xxxxxx are the property of Xxxxxx and can only be used for the purposes agreed upon by both Xxxxxx and the applicants; Xxxxxx’x home study document specifies approval for a particular kind of adoption (e.g., adoption from a particular program, age of the child, gender of the child, any special needs, number of children in birth family, etc.). Change to this approval requires mutual reassessment.
3.1.4 Xxxxxx offers adoption services, but cannot guarantee placement of a child, nor can Xxxxxx guarantee a specific age of a child at the time of placement. No one can credibly make this guarantee because international adoptions are controlled by foreign governments that can change their rules or close the adoption process with or without notice.
