Some agencies work in multiple counties, so you can check with them. You will want to work with an agency that 'works' with Children and Youth (if not going through Children and Youth) so that you have chance of getting the local referals and such.
Keep in mind you can go through 'orientation' and info gathering with several places till you get to one you are comfortable.
I know all about overburdened social workers, funny thing though, I have recently found that the social worker that I have dealt with that I feels is the best, most honest, and has the children's best intersts at heart currently has 19 children in her caseload. One who never returns calls, takes weeks/ months to do anything, she only has 10.
