How do I select an agency for a home study?
The home study process and how you find a social worker depends on the type of adoption. So if you are going through a foster care adoption, let's say, your home study is conducted by the foster care adoption agency that you're already working with, and it's most likely going to be conducted by the social worker that you've been working with for your adoption process. There will be no cost associated with the home study. In a private or independent adoption, you could be working with an agency or you could be working with a facilitator and/or an attorney who will help locate a person to conduct the home study for you, and in some instances there is a cost associated with the home study.
