Fees
What does a home study cost?
I prefer to discuss costs with individuals once we have spoken in person, by email, or telephone. Cost varies depending on location, whether it is an international or domestic adoption, and on the amount of administrative tasks required (documentation beyond just the home study).
What will the home study fee include?
The fee includes all consultations with clients or others involved in the adoption process (e.g., adoption agency, DHS, etc.), home visit, travel time, copies of the home study, and completion of the home study.
The fee does not include travel costs, overnight costs (if necessary), and some administrative costs (express mail, notarization, apostille fees, etc.).
Can you work with more than one family in one location or in one visit?
Yes. I encourage this because if there is more than one couple or person in a location, they can share the travel and overnight costs of the home visit.
