In Texas can you get a homestudy done by an independent person that does homestudies and use it to send out to situations that you come across yourself?

Yes. I am having hs completed by a licensed social worker. It is legal and can be used in any situation- BUT should I decide to use an agency in the future, they have the right to refuse use. (something about their liabilities) I have found agencies that will use my HS after some discussion (my SW is well known in Central Texas) and the agencies she works with will definitely use the HS. The only hitch I have found so far is if I choose a foster/adopt process. It was well worth the investment so that I can tell people that I am home study ready.

I was wondering what hiccups you found trying to adopt with a private homestudy and the foster/adopt process? We have a private adoption but I have found some situations that the kids are in the foster system, but they are legally free. I am having a hard time finding out if they would accept a privately done homestudy.
Thanks!
Emily
