The autobiography can range anywhere from an interview, to a form or an essay that you write.
N
o international adoption journey would be complete without the home study.
While it sounds daunting, it really is a pretty simple, easy step in the process of bringing your child home. It just requires a little more time to complete.
One part of that homestudy will more than likely include an autobiography your social worker will ask you to complete. The autobiography can range anywhere from an interview, to a form or an essay that you write. Whatever it is, you need to do a thorough of a job as possible answering all of the questions.
Since international home studies have to be very thorough, it is critical that you provide as much information to your homestudy provider as possible. It will not only speed up the process (because the social worker won't have to keep coming back to ask you more questions) but it will show your child's home country you are committed to the process.

During our homestudy process to become licensed foster parents, we had to do several interviews. We of course had to to fill out the extensive autobiography, but then we each had a separate interview with the worker, then one together. It was a little intimidating, to say the least. Was that not your experience?
The homestudy was intimidating, the social worker did an interview with both of us together, then each seperately, then she interviewd 5 of our children. She was very thorough. The homestudy itself was not very accurate, she got some facts wrong and said some strange things, but it did not seem to matter, as both of our children are home now!
Really great work! The Children are the future of world.
Congratulations!
