Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Will DCFS do this for adoption?
My new husband and I are doing a step-father adoption.
I have had sole custody for 7years. Bio dad has
consented. My question is: Will DCFS do a drug test for
the adoption or will be just be asked on the
homestudy?

Re: Will DCFS do this for adoption?
A little bit of a strange question. If there is a prior history of drug use there is a more likelihood that they will conduct a homestudy. Based on the results of the homestudy, it is then up to DCFS whether they should pursue it further.
Re: Will DCFS do this for adoption?
Related family adoptions are favored. In many cases, no investigation or home study is done at all. I cannot predict whether one would be sought in this adoption, and if sought, what the scope of the investigation/home study would be. Your best bet is not to use drugs; then you needn�t worry about a drug test.
