How long is a homestudy valid?

Generally, two years. If you have not been matched with a child, you will have to have an update to your homestudy, with interviews and updated supporting documents. You do not need to repeat PRIDE training. You will also have to have an update to your homestudy if there are any other significant changes in your family, so it is important to keep your adoption worker advised of these changes.
