How can I get an adoption home study job?

Adoption home study case workers must follow the same educational paths as social workers. Most positions require a master's degree in social work, though some states allow those with only a bachelor's degree to practice as an adoption home study case worker. You may also need to obtain a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) license. State qualifications vary, so make sure to research the criteria in your state. Case workers who perform adoption home studies have excellent organizational and interpersonal skills and a strong desire to help families. They may work in public or private adoption agencies or child welfare agencies.
