We just finished that process also. We did the straight adoption certification but I was told that updating from one to the other was rather simple since the bulk of the HS, etc was done. I do know that we had an extra finger print clearance done though (as opposed to foster licensing).

The adoption HS was three appointments mostly focusing on us, our family dynamics, really getting a good picture of who we are and what kind of child would fit well in our family. The home inspection was the last thing they did and certainly wasn't as thorough or rigid as the foster inspection from what I understand. I was grateful for that.

I asked questions about the process, the wait. Can't really remember but our CW is really easy to get a hold of so I could always call her later.

I do know Dh had to be there for at least two of our appointments. I don't think they would try to trick you into having an unkept house. My CW told us exactly what she would be looking for in the inspection and made clear appointments with us.

Good luck. I don't think you need to stress too much about it.
