Generally, yes. Once your adoption paperwork is filed, you will be contacted by someone from the Adoption Department of Orphans Division, to set up a basic home inspection. It's not an involved process, and as long as the inspector isn't tripping over drug paraphernalia or facing a child who is cringing in fear, it's usually just a formality.
