Homestudy Choices
I am confused - DH and I are looking into getting a homestudy done.

Both agencies we got information from said you have to use their services for a homestudy - they would not take a outside source.

Is that generally how agencies work? Should we wait on a homestudy until we decide on agency, facilitator, attorny etc.

We thought we could get a head start on the homestudy but don;t want to waste money if we have to redo when we make our final decision as to which road we are taking.

Thanks for any feedback!

Deni

Hmmm... We live in Pa and are using an agency in NJ so we had to have a Pa agency do our homestudy and then submit that to the NJ agency.... guess I didn't really help, I am sure someone will have good advice for you.
Good luck!
