Application to Begin Home Study

Today, we filled out the application form for Nathanson's Adoption Services to do our home study.  We had a choice of either going with Nathanson's or Levacy Smith.  Levacy had cheaper fees, but it would have likely have been a little more expensive since it would involve having to pay a social worker mileage expenses to come from Charlotte.  Nathanson (based in Charlotte) had a social worker in Cary that could be assigned to our case.

The costs: 
        $1,450  -   Standard processing (8-11 weeks)
             300  -   Expedited processing (1-2 weeks)
             200  -   Document fee for Eastern European adoptions.

We ultimately decided to pay the expedited processing fee to get the process completed faster.  On Saturday, the check will be in the mail to Charlotte to start the home study process!
