It really depends on your state laws. The only way to know would be to call the agency you're going to use. Some agencies also have specific rules as to how long a homestudy & update are good for.

FYI: The state social services will only complete homestudies or homestudy updates if you're adopting from the state (I'm almost positive that goes for every state, otherwise everyone would be going to the state agency for cheap homestudies/updates).

Our homestudy was $1000 & the update was (I think) $500. We also need 2 post placement visits for $1000. So we spent $2500 for the homestudy, update, & 2 post placement visits.

Good Luck!
