Hi,
I agree with the above poster - the different countries requirements for home studies vary. Your social worker may think that a domestic home study will do, but often there are real differences. I would hold off doing the HS until you know what country you are choosing because home study updates are costly. Also, you should consider choosing a social worker who is familiar with the specifics of the country you use - it could make a huge difference down the line if your paperwork doesn't include something that country calls for.
