A quick definition of home study:

A home study is a special investigation that happens when people want to adopt a child. The investigation checks if the people who want to adopt are good parents and if their home is safe and healthy for everyone who lives there. The investigation looks at things like the parents' health, medical history, criminal record, family background, and the condition of their home. All states require a home study to make sure that the people who want to adopt are fit to raise a child.

A more thorough explanation:

A home study, also known as an "adoption study," is an investigation conducted to determine if prospective adoptive parents are suitable and qualified to care for a child. The investigation also assesses whether the physical environment of their home is safe and healthy for all occupants. The home study typically includes an evaluation of the adoptive parents' health, medical history, criminal record, family background, and home environment.

The purpose of the home study is to ensure that the prospective adoptive parents meet the criteria established by state law and are capable of raising a child. All states require a home study before approving an adoption.

For example, in New York State, foster homes must meet specific requirements to be certified and approved. These requirements can be found on the New York State Office of Children and Family Services website.

The home study is an essential part of the adoption process, as it helps to ensure that children are placed in safe and loving homes.
