Psychological Evaluations for International Adoptions
Psychological evaluations for international adoptions assess the stability of the parents and the readiness of all family members to incorporate the adopted child. Any serious, problematic circumstances that are identified do not automatically disqualify the adoption, but some counseling or changes may need to be made before the adoption can proceed. Keep in mind that there are no "perfect" parents and that minor difficulties do not mean an unfavorable evaluation.
