Prospective parents must also complete a home study, including criminal background checks.

Costs to foster and adopt Typically, there is no fee for families interested in adopting a child or sibling group from foster care. Licensed public adoption agencies (also known as California Department of Social Services adoptions district offices) may require that you pay a fee of no more than $500.
