We are in the Harrisburg area and we had to have a home study for my wife to adopt our son. Our lawyer uses the same firm and the same case worker so she was familiar with same sex adoption cases. She asked some basic questions, looked at his room, and left. It was not like an outside adoption where they have to check out everything because the baby already lives there. I think some friends of mine did not have to do the study because they had paperwork done before the baby was born that stated how the birth certificate should be filled out. They also had special circumstances because S donated and egg for W to carry. The hardest part about our adoption was getting the birth certificate back. It took 7 months to get the paperwork filled out right. I had to be listed as the adoptive mom and she had to be listed on the adoptive father side, crossed out and Mother written in. I was more jacked out being listed as the adoptive mom. And when the certificate came back it says Parent 1 and Parent 2. But we are thankful she was able to adopt him.

We are in Southeastern PA and were told the same, there is no way around it. The whole this is ridiculous if you ask me.

Thank you. That is good to know if we have another and have to go through the adoption process again.
