Hi
Just after advice & experiences of others who got to the step parent adoption DCP home visit report phase, my partner and kid are super excited but super nervous as well. We want some advice on what to expect, what they look for, how long the visits take, do you have your house rent inspection clean or lived in tidy ? Me and my partner are super nervous people and we don't really like the unknown. So any advice will be greatly appreciated

I'd have it clean, but not worry too much about mess (toys laying around etc).
They'll be checking for safety issues more than anything. So make sure there's sufficient food in the cupboard & fridge, child locks on cupboards if it's a toddler etc.
They'll probably be a lot more interested in how the child behaves & reacts to you.
