If you are going to use a private agency in Ohio to do an independent home study for an adoption, then you must meet the requirements of the state and the agency. Private agencies do not require you to take the MAPP class in order to have an approved home study. (But I'm sure the state requires it if you are adopting through a public agency.) They will require you to have some training which could include child care classes, infant and child CPR, and reading books regarding adoption and answering questions. If you are going to use a private agency to help you find a child, then they offer training classes specifically designed to educate their clients on the type of adoptions they do. I have no idea how the different counties work, only how private agencies work. If using a private agency to do your home study, they should have no problem completing it within 30 days, as long as you fulfill your paperwork obligations. Hope this helps and good luck with your decision!
