Homestudy - This is a comprehensive process that will be completed in a timely manner. We will travel all over the state. We do not charge extra for mileage. The home study will be in compliance with Ohio laws and Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services regulations. It will be completed by a licensed social worker who is a certified assessor. You do not have to be open to special needs to use our home study services. Fee - $1,500
Training - We will provide the required training hours for families using our home study services or we can help you find this training in your area. Fee - Hourly
Large Family Assessment - This is an additional assessment for those families who have 4 or more children living in their home. Fee - $400
Home study Update - All Ohio home studies are required to be updated every two years if the potential adoptive family still is wishing to pursue an adoption. Fee - $1,000
Home study Addendum - Home studies need to have an addendum completed due to change in circumstances in the home or with the family. Fee will not exceed $100 based on the reason for the addendum.
Home study Transfer - A home study completed by another adoption agency in Ohio may be transferred to Special Angels Adoption. Fee - $500
Court Report - If Special Angels Adoption completed the post placement visits and the adoption is being finalized in Ohio, some counties will require a court report to be completed by the home study agency prior to finalization. Fee - $400
Post Placement (Pre-Finalization Visit) Fee - After a child is placed in your home, Ohio requires that a social worker visit your home and write a report. If finalization will occur in Ohio, then six of these visits will be required. If finalization will occur in another state, that state law will determine how many monthly visits will be required. Fee - $250 per visit. Mileage may charged in some circumstances.
Homestudy Sharing Fee - Special Angels Adoption will send a completed home study and supporting documents to any licensed agency, public foster care agency, or attorney at your written request for no fee, if it can be sent electronically. Fee only applies if a hard copy must be mailed. Fee - $25
Other Fees - There may be additional fees that are associated with the home study process. These fees would be paid to another entity. This includes, but not limited to, FBI/BCI clearances, well inspection, medical exams, and vet checks.
We will expedite a homestudy at no additional fee. As a non-profit we work to keep our costs as low as possible.
If you have any questions or are ready to start the home study process please contact Sara at 740-395-3097 or email sara@specialangelsadoption.org for the application packet.
