What qualifications are needed to conduct adoption home studies?

I have always been attracted to a career in adoptions. Currently, I am a teacher. What type of certification/degree to people who do adoption home studies have?

It depends on where you are at. In my state, a degree in almost any area of study....usually a human type field, such a counseling, teaching, criminal justice......SOCIAL WORK (BSW), will get you a job as a case manager in the state social service system and yes many of them refer to themselves as 'social workers' even though they do not hold a degree in social work.
Now, to do home studies.....you usually have to hold a Master's Level.....MSW, for instance, to do them on your own. You could possibly do home studies under a contractor (you would be a sub contractor) if you only hold a Bachelor's level degree. We have teachers who write insightful studies which are often better than those done by BSW or MSW level social workers.
Adoption agencies, public agencies and private adoptions all require studies. If you really want to know what to expect or what is required, call your local agency, public or private and ask.
As I write though, in my state a BSW is not required if working under a MSW contractor.
Take care!! |

Become a social worker.
It depends on your location. Many social workers are adults in need of social services themselves.
A bachelor's degree in social work (B.S.W.) is required for entry-level positions in the social work field.
Plan on working toward a master's degree in social work (M.S.W.) if you would like a position of any responsibility, including case management. There are currently 130 M.S.W. accredited programs; each requires the student to receive 900 hours of supervised field experience.
Get licensing exam information for the state in which you live. After you receive your M.S.W., you must work under a licensed M.S.W. for two years before you can take the licensing exam. |
