Purchase of Service

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

When a child's agency agrees to pay the family's adoption agency for providing an adoption home study, post-placement visits and reports, and/or other services or expenses. Many foster children who are waiting for adoptive parents may have purchase of service attached as a benefit. It's always a good idea to ask.
