FAQ
  Adoption
What is the cost associated with having a family assessment completed?
 
Answer:
If you are interested in adopting a child who is a permanent state or court ward, there is no fee for a family assessment conducted by DHS. A private child-placing agency will charge a fee for a family assessment in most cases. Since fees can vary greatly for direct placement and other private adoptions, it is important that you discuss fees with your adoption agency.
