Question: I am a Foster Parent for My State, Do I Need a Home Study?
Answer:

An adoption home study is much more in-depth than that of the profile that is completed on foster families. So, yes, you will have to have a home study completed on your family in order to adopt. Even if you are adopting a foster child that has already been placed in your home.
