How soon can we have health check done? Can we do this ourselves and have something written up?

I found an adoption agency in IL, and I am in Iowa. Will this work well? Also they are asking $11,000 for just advertising etc, but turn around is within 2 years. Home study and lawyer you have to get yourself. Is that reasonable?

You may want to cross post this under the "general adoptive parents" forum where there is more traffic...or you could do a search on this forum for "homestudy" to pull up old threads on this topic...hope that helps!!

(I'm new to this process but have noticed that some forums on here are "busier" than others)...
