"I really appreciate how you have helped us through this process.  Before we called you at Texas Home Study, we were stressed and praying to the good Lord Jesus to help us find someone that could help us with an adoption home study process under such short notice.  From day1 of speaking with you on the phone, you encouraged us that you would try your best to make this a smooth and quick process even though we were stressed to get it all completed in time knowing the birth mother was only about 6 weeks away from delivery.  You were so very kind and helpful in explaining and directing us through the Home Study Information ( even though you were on vacation with your family ).  You made this process truly pleasant, enjoyable and expedient for us even though we were short on time.  If we choose to adopt again, we are definitely going to request your help again.  You and Texas Home Study have definitely been an answer to our prayers."

"Cheryl has been amazing to work with through the home study process.  She was willing to travel to my home when most agencies wouldn't.  She has been so kind and helpful in what can be a very stressful time.  She's always very prompt in her communications and answers all the questions I have.  I would highly recommend her."

- Harlingen, Texas

​

​

"I was in immediate need of a home study for a step-parent adoption.  Many of the places I contacted were unresponsive.  Cheryl was very quick to respond and get me in contact with Anna.  Anna came to our house and was so great with our kids.  She was so nice and very responsive with any questions I had moving forward.  I would definitely recommend!"

-Frisco, Texas

​

​

"I called 5 different home study groups and no one would help me.  When Cheryl heard of the spot I was in she immediately put me in contact with Anna.  Anna came the same day (as we had court the next week) and helped us through the process.  She made it as quick and easy as possible.  My lawyer said it was the best most informative and professional Home Study she had ever seen!  I promise you will not be disappointed here!  We're so thankful to have found them both!"

"Cheryl was so easy to work with.  The online portal made it super easy as well."

-Austin, Texas

​

​

"I wish I would have known how easy the process actually was instead of stressing over how time-consuming I thought it would be.  Cheryl was so organized and efficient and made our experience so positive.  The home study part of the adoption process has the reputation of being stressful and long, but we had the opposite experience.  We would absolutely recommend Cheryl to anyone needing a home study."

-New Braunfels, Texas

​

​

"Working with and meeting Cheryl was the best part of the home study experience.  I was very nervous to have to go through the home study process, but Cheryl made me feel comfortable and supported through the process.  I am so thankful and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her on this!"

"Cheryl Duke was an excellent choice for our home study.  We were in a bit of a time crunch to get it complete and she assisted with every step of the way, as well as schedule the home visit in a timely manner.  She is very polite and it is obvious she loves what she does.  Our adoption is interstate and Cheryl has communicated with our attorney and sent the documents required in a timely manner as well.  Since it is an interstate adoption we're required to have a few more home visits before our adoption is finalized, and we look forward to working with Cheryl again."

-San Antonio, Texas

​

"We cannot thank you enough for how easy you have made the past few months and our whole adoption process.  You are a gift from God!!"

-Fort Worth, Texas

​

​

"We worked with Cheryl to complete our home study for a private adoption.  We previously had adverse experiences with foster to adopt so we were anxious about private adoption.  Cheryl was kind, patient, and knowledgeable.  The home study she wrote was an exceptional snip it of us and our life.  She wrote as she had known us for ages.  Her work assisted in our adoption of a newborn baby boy."

-Bulverde, Texas

​

​

"Thank you so much for all you did, Cheryl.  I know you put in extra work to have it done for us so quickly.  We appreciate it!  It was less scary than we imagined.  I was expecting to be grilled on some really tough questions, but it was way more or a conversation than an interview.  When we did not really know the answer or you did ask something that maybe we hadn't discussed as husband/wife previously, you kind of helped guide us."

-Fort Worth, Texas

​

​

"When my husband & I started our adoption journey, we had no idea where to start.  We quickly realized a home study was crucial and reached out to Cheryl.  Every moment of this process, she has been kind, patient, professional, and has offered more guidance than we could have expected.  She has a great work ethic - very quick to respond.  When she came to the house, she was warm & welcoming, which made the overall process wonderful.  We are extremely appreciative of her services and would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a home study.  Thank you, Cheryl!"

-Weatherford, Texas

-Austin, Texas

​

​

"You are so kind and seem to genuinely care about the work you do and that is a great reassurance through the whole process.  It is clear that you have experience, knowledge and confidence in your work.  We always felt like we were in good hands!  Also, we sincerely appreciated the patience you displayed even when I know we had asked he same silly questions more than once.  You are so quick to respond and were incredibly flexible getting us in on short notice.  Our previous home study was uncomfortable; it felt like an interrogation and invasion of privacy.  We felt like we had to prove ourselves worthy of a child.  It was one of the most dreaded tasks of our last adoption and we were assuming it would be the same this time around.  Boy were we wrong!  You were so sweet and fun right off the bat, it felt more like catching up with an old friend!  Our kids were so comfortable I was certain they would never let you leave, haha!  If we were to ever adopt again in the future, we would consider it an honor to get to work with you again!  We would not hesitate to recommend your service with the highest esteem to anyone and everyone looking to adopt!"

-Cleburne, Texas

"5 Stars!!  Cheryl Duke recently guided us through our adoption home study. She is truly talented and gifted in her line of work. Throughout the paperwork for the study she was extremely helpful and always very quick to respond to emails. Cheryl definitely made the whole process very streamlined and simple. We thoroughly enjoyed being with her when she came for the home visit, and we feel like we are good friends after meeting her only one time! We would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services."

-El Campo, Texas

​

​

"Without hesitation we reached out to Cheryl to begin the process, hoping that the many reviews speaking about her personality and way or working were accurate.  The two of us realized quickly that all the reviews were spot on.  Cheryl's amazing ability to communicate in a safe and compassionate way coupled with her willingness to embrace technology made the entire home study process as stress-free as possible.  From filling out the questionnaire to uploading the necessary documentation, we knew exactly what we should be working on and how to accomplish it.  When we had finally scheduled the home visit we were so excited to meet Cheryl in person.  The way she honored our space and our story that day was unbelievable.  She created an atmosphere that was relaxed, educational, warm, and fun.  We found that sharing the complexity and nuances of adoption was quite easy due to her conversational nature and overall demeanor.  After the in-person visit, Cheryl had our home study completed promptly and accurately!  Working with Cheryl was an absolute blessing and we are so thankful that we selected her as our home study professional."

-Houston, Texas

-San Antonio, Texas

​

​

"Cheryl is absolutely amazing!  She drove all the way to our home on a Saturday for our homestudy.  Of course we were nervous but her kind and calming nature immediately put us at ease.  It was like having an old friend at the dinner table.  She was also very prompt and professional and answered every single question we had no matter how small or silly we thought it to be.  Highly recommend!!"

-Burkburnett, Texas

​

​

"When we started our path towards our second adoption, we dreaded starting the home study process again! Cheryl at Texas Home Study was a complete game changer for us. She was professional, polite, very quick to return any call or email, and was so knowledgeable. We were never made to feel like we were bothering her with our millions of questions. If you are looking for someone to complete your homestudy, look no further!"

-Rosharon, Texas

-Liberty Hill, Texas

​

​

"Cheryl was wonderful to work with for our homestudy!  The mountains of paperwork in the adoption process can be daunting but everything with Cheryl was straightforward and simple to follow and keep up with.  She made the process completely stress free.  She is quick to respond to email or over the phone with questions and was very flexible and accommodating with scheduling.  She was a delight to interact with and go over everything with during her home visit.  Our kids felt completely at ease and really enjoyed talking with her.  She definitely made me think 'Wow, how wonderful to be connected to such a wonderful person through this adoption process.'  I am thankful Cheryl and people like her exist and have chosen to use their gifts ultimately to serve vulnerable children.  Cheryl's part in the puzzle of helping to facilitate adoptions and making sure adoptive families are safe families is invaluable and she does it with great skill.  I hope everyone needed a home study gets to work with Cheryl, they would be so blessed by her!"

-Austin, Texas

​

-Sumner, Texas

​

​

"Our experience with Cheryl Duke, Texas Home Study has been absolutely great.  My spouse and I have been referred to her, along with some other providers, by our Adoption Agency and I have to say that it was the best choice we could possibly make.  Since the very beginning Cheryl made the process very clear and she sent a detailed information packet that outlined all the requirements and the documentation to fill in.  She has been very reliable and accommodating in responding to all questions that we had in less than 24 hours.  The process went fast and smooth, from submission of the required documentation electronically, to the home visit.  We were a little scared as we were expecting some sort of inquisitive experience going into the most subtle details of our lives, whereas Cheryl made us feel very comfortable in opening our background and experiences to her and sharing our plans for the future and our desire to adopt a child.  During the whole visit she was extremely pleasant and we almost felt like we were talking to an old friend rather than a stranger that was there to write a report on us.  After the home visit, the process went even faster than expected as Cheryl was able to write up the home study report in a very short time and coordinated directly with our Adoption Agency for any questions or comments.  In summary, it was a great experience with no feel of stress whatsoever.  Should we ever need such service again, we would definitely go back to Texas Home Study as Cheryl Duke was very competent and professional during the whole process."

-Houston, Texas  

​

​

"My husband and I hired Cheryl Duke with Texas Home Study to write a home study report for us when we were pursuing an adoption earlier this year.  She was recommended by friends of ours and we were not disappointed.  In fact, the experience couldn't have been better!  Cheryl is very personable and immediately put us at ease.  We enjoyed having her in our home and getting to talk about our family with her.  We were pleased with the professionalism and comprehensiveness of the report that we received.  And surprisingly, the entire process was very quick.  We had anticipated being on a waiting list for some time or having to schedule really far out.  But Cheryl was able to visit us within a week of us contacting her and she delivered the report to us very promptly afterward.  We highly recommend Cheryl to anyone seeking a home study!"

-Austin, Texas 

​

​

"It was wonderful working with Cheryl at Texas Home Study.  She was professional, timely in her responses, and kept our homestudy on track.  We've actually worked with multiple agencies- both state and private -towards our adoption and fostering goals and Cheryl was not only easy to work with and to schedule time with, but also kept track of all of our paperwork so we never had to send her anything twice.  Would highly recommend anyone to work with Cheryl for their TX home study!"

"My husband and I's experience with Cheryl Duke was wonderful!  Cheryl is professional, kind, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any question in a timely manner.  The day of our home study we were so nervous.  As soon as she walked into our home, she made us feel comfortable.  When she talked to us, it seemed like we were talking to a friend.  We felt ourselves become relaxed and at ease during the process.  The biggest thing we were impressed with was the timeliness of getting our report back.  Cheryl got back to us in two weeks.  We highly recommend Texas Home Study if your family is thinking about adoption."

-Longview, Texas

-Collinsville, Texas

​

​

"My husband and I were pleased to hire Cheryl Duke to complete our home study for our step parent adoption.  We searched and searched until we found the right person that we felt was meant to do the study.  She was very communicative from the beginning and well prepared and provided information along the way and respected our time frame of when we were ready to complete the home study.  She didn't rush us or push us to complete the process for her personal gain.  We set a date and completed the process at our own pace.  We welcomed her into our home and allowed her to engage with our family as freely as she wanted and she was very detailed about the questions she asked.  We feel she did an amazing job and just in time for my husband to adopt my oldest so that we can give her the gift of a new last name on her birth certificate as a Christmas gift.  If you are looking for a home study agent, Cheryl Duke is amazing, prompt, detailed, and very respectful.  We definitely recommend her."

There are so many different emotions that you go through during the adoption process. Cheryl was calming and reassuring during the whole time. She was always there to answer any and all questions, was clear about what was needed and walked us through every step.  Meeting face to face was no different, she made my whole family feel relaxed and at ease to be ourselves.

You will be so grateful you choose to work with them on your adoption journey."

-Fort Worth, Texas  

​

​

"Cheryl was so great to work with for my adoption Home Study.  She was very patient with me and really helped to calm my nerves throughout the process.  I am adopting as a single parent and I have lots of questions being a new adoptive parent and doing this one my own.  Cheryl made the Home Study as simple as it could be.  She has been professional every step of the way.  I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to complete a Home Study in Texas."

-Austin, Texas

"Cheryl was extremely easy to work with.  She also got me through the process much faster than I had been told to expect it would take.  She is willing to drive almost anywhere in the state of Texas!  She came out and met me and considered my unique situation.  I'll definitely work with her again in the future if I adopt again."

-Alba, Texas

​

"We were referred to Cheryl with Texas Home Study by some friends.  I reached out to Cheryl and she responded quickly and provided all of the information.  Cheryl helped us with our home study paperwork and was responsive when we reached out with questions.  While we were nervous for the home study interview, Cheryl quickly made my husband and I feel at ease.  She helped us understand more about adoption and ensured all of our questions were answered.  Talking with Cheryl during our home study interview was like talking with a friend.  I would absolutely recommend Texas Home Study!"

-Waco, Texas

"We cannot thank Cheryl enough for all she has done for us.  Not only did she take a seemly stressful situation and made it informative, but she also made it fun.  Her professionalism and courtesy were above and beyond what we expected.  She thoroughly explained every step, every detail, her responsiveness was beyond our expectations."

-Austin, Texas

​

​

"We are extremely thankful for Cheryl Duke from TxHomestudy, without her help and support, it would have been impossible for us to be holding our baby girl today!  We were in the process of relocating for an internal job transfer from Seattle to Austin, when we were notified about the opportunity to adopt the half-sister of our youngest daughter from Phoenix.  We contacted Cheryl on March 2nd and we would later find our daughter would be scheduled to be born March 24th.  During this short 3-week window, Cheryl took the challenge to work with us to complete our home study and help expedite the background clearances for TX, AZ, PA, and WA in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Thank you so much for raising the bar and being part of our adoption journey!  We highly recommend Cheryl."

-Austin, Texas

-Corinth, Texas

​

​

"Cheryl did a great job with our Home Study. She was extremely professional. She replied to my email request promptly and scheduled the home visit in a very convenient time and day for us. The turn around of our Home Study was very quick after her visit. We would certainly hire her again if we need to update our Home Study. Thank you Cheryl for assisting us with our Home Study."

-Houston, Texas

​

​

"I could not imagine a better person to assist us in our home study than Cheryl Duke. When we first started looking at the processes and requirements for the home study, we were a little intimidated as we were also completing procedures for our adoption agency. Before contacting Cheryl, while we were gathering the paperwork, we half expected the process to be an uphill challenge. Having been in the military and used to how government and paperwork mix, I did not have high expectations. To be honest prior to meeting Cheryl we kept thinking that we would be working with Roz from Monster’s Inc. I am glad to report that was nowhere near the case. Cheryl was amazing as she was always available for questions and became our ally through the entire stressful ordeal. We are extremely grateful for her assistance in our adoption journey!" 

-Anna, Texas

​

​

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl to complete our homestudy in order to apply for adoption.  Ms. Duke was attentive and responsive to all of our questions.  She provided clear instructions to properly prepare all the paperwork necessary for the homestudy.  During the interview process, Ms. Duke was very professional and friendly, which put us at ease.  Ms. Duke was very attentive and thorough in her work, and followed up for us on reports we were waiting on.  She provided a comprehensive, thoughtful report that we can use when we apply to an adoption agency.  Overall, we had a very positive experience working with Ms. Duke and would recommend her to other couples looking to adopt."

-San Antonio, Texas

-Fort Bliss, Texas

​

​

"We really appreciated working with you on this home study.  You were very thorough and communicated via email before the appointment, making it easier to get the paperwork done.  For the session you were punctual and friendly.  Speaking with you was easy and didn't feel like an interrogation at all.  The report was excellent and much more detailed that I expected.  Overall I'm very happy we were able to work with you."

-Austin, Texas

​

​

"Cheryl has been such a blessing.  Before we even met her, we had a million questions about the home study process.  She was VERY prompt to answer any of our questions or concerns and never made us feel like any of our questions were silly.  During the home visit, we were very nervous, but Cheryl was so kind and very easy to talk to.  She has been very patient with us during this stressful, but exciting time!  She came highly recommended by a friend, and we are so grateful we are working with such a caring person!"

-Brookshire, Texas

​

​

"Cheryl is amazing.  She makes a daunting process simple and easy.  She is excellent at setting expectations, helping navigate the process and made is so much less stressful than I thought it would be.  I would highly recommend her to everyone!"

-Mansfield, Texas

​

​

"We could not be more pleased with our home study experience.  My husband and I were nervous and not because we didn't think it would go well, but because we were unsure about the experience or what questions we would be asked.  From the moment Cheryl stepped into our home, we felt extremely comfortable with her.  She took a tour of our home and took notes, asked us questions regarding our personal lives, and had real life conversations about our jobs, interests, etc.... It was interesting to learn she is from the same small area in Texas that I am also from, so we were able to connect on a different level.  She was extremely kind, positive, and reassuring that we have a good life set up for a baby.  Our home study experience was very positive and comfortable because of Cheryl.  We are excited to be working with her and have her back in our home for the several months after we get chosen to be adoptive parents."

-New Braunfels, Texas

​

​

"My husband and I truly loved working with Cheryl Duke.  She is very kind, quick to reply, very helpful, and super supportive.  She got us the documents we needed very quickly.  We are so thankful we chose her to go along the journey of adopting with us!

I messaged Cheryl in January, and she got in contact with me very quickly regarding the services offered.  She sent me all of the paperwork needed so I could be better prepared for our first visit.  We booked our first visit, and when I had to reschedule because of an unfortunate issue with a skunk, she was very understanding, and we were able to reschedule very quickly.  When she came to our home, we immediately felt at peace.  Before she arrived we were so worried, because everyone tells you how scary and nerve racking a home study can be, but that is not what we experienced at all with her.  She made us feel calm, she is very easy to talk to, and she asked all questions respectfully, and made it more of a conversation.  We will definitely be recommending her to everyone we know who is planning to adopt, and we will be using her again, when we decide to adopt again."

-China Spring, Texas  

​

​

"We called Texas Home Study through an online search for a home study at a reasonable price.  Cheryl was incredibly friendly (in an otherwise stressful time) and has been unbelievably helpful even after she completed our home visit.  We had another social worker do our first adoption home study and I waited months and she was unresponsive and... well it ended alright, but with a lot of tears... this experience has been the exact opposite.  She was super fast at getting our home study and is also really knowledgeable throughout Texas of attorneys and agencies.  We couldn't recommend her more."

-Houston, Texas

​

​

"Cheryl was the most wonderful person to do something so overwhelming like this with.  From the very beginning, she eased our fears and anxieties about the process and continued to update us as we waited for our final checks from the state of Texas.  I could not recommend her enough, we look forward to her coming back to our home when our sweet baby comes home.  If you are in the market for this service, hands down Cheryl Duke should be your go to."

-Palmhurst, Texas  

​

​

"Cheryl was wonderful to work with! From the moment we contacted her she was nothing short of amazing and helpful.  We had read stories of how the home study was so scary and overwhelming, not once did we feel like that with Cheryl.  She was so kind and answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of questions!!) and she never seemed annoyed with us emailing, and calling her.  When she came to our home, we had felt like we had known her forever!  We showed her our house, she met our dogs, and we sat at our table and reviewed our paperwork.  Once Cheryl completed our home study report, she emailed us with a tracking number of the package coming.  We look forward to seeing her again as we continue of this journey of adoption!"

-Granbury, Texas

​

"I would highly recommend Cheryl and Texas Home Study.  Cheryl's personalized service, easy to understand packets of information, advice and guidance on completing the forms was outstanding and made the process smooth!  I have read horror stories on awful experiences with other companies and I have to say that it was really not stressful at all working with Cheryl on the home study process. You're not just a number, she genuinely cares and that shows.  She created our final report in a timely manner and we will continue using her for subsequent visits for future needs after placement!"
