How Our Out-of-State Adoption Process Works
Initial Inquiry & Free Consultation: Fill out our brief contact form below to speak with an adoption coordinator. We will discuss your family’s goals, process timelines, and requirements.
Home Study Approval / Transfer: To adopt across state lines, you must have an approved home study completed by a licensed child-placing agency in your home state. If you already have one, we can review and accept your profile. If you need one, we will connect you with a trusted licensed agency partner in your state.
Profile Creation & Matching: Once your home study is verified, we help you prepare a family profile that reflects your unique home, values, and lifestyle for expectant parents to view.
Placement & ICPC Clearance: When matched, our agency handles administrative and ICPC coordination, provides legal referrals and resources, and assists you and your home agency every step of the way—so you can focus on welcoming your new child home safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I adopt through an Ohio agency if I live in another state?
Yes. As a licensed child-placing agency, Building Blocks Adoption Service Inc. works with approved adoptive families in eligible states across the country. All interstate placements follow the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) guidelines.
Do I need to get my home study done in Ohio?

Timelines vary depending on home study completion, family preferences, and matching dynamics. During your initial consultation, we will provide realistic expectations and current timeline estimates.
