Where Can I Find a List of Requirements for Adoption and Home Study?

Question by Erica: Where can I find a list of requirements for adoption and home study?
I know that an adopting family needs a space for the child, smoke detectors, and emergency escape plan. But is there a list somewhere online? I’ve been looking all over the internet for a couple of days but cannot come up with anything helpful. I’m looking specifically for Ohio, but a generic list is fine, or even a list from another state just to give me an idea.

I want a web site, NOT suggestions on what to put into a search engine or stuff like that.

I’m not sure where to find a specific list. My husband adopted my child and it wasn’t too tedious of a task. We contacted an attorney who handled it. Basically it was a lot of waiting.

At the home study, which lasted a couple hours, the case worker went over the adoptive parents’ income, what insurance he could provide the child, made sure the home was safe, secure and adequate for the child. I remember having to have two smoke detectors, a carbon monoxide detector and at least one fire extinguisher.

I’m sure the requirements are state and probably even county specific.
