All home studies will be conducted according to jurisdictional regulations in a professional and timely manner.
We believe the home study process provides an opportunity for each family to both determine and prepare for the child(ren) who will be joining their family. Placement decisions are made by the interstate/international agency or the birth parent. Therefore, we cannot ensure an adoptive placement for every family.
International or Independent adoptions:
Application $ 200
Home Study $1,150
*There may be additional fees from the child placement source.
Post-placement services:
Home Study Reevaluation/Update $ 300--$ 900
Post-placement Report $ 300 each visit/ $ 900 three visits in 6 months
Court Report (when required) $ 300--$ 350
Fees paid to the agency are to cover the costs incurred in relation to the adoption program.
