$1000 to transfer from public to private? - Adoption.com Forums

For somereason, a fellow foster peep tells me that it costs $1000 to transfer your "license" from a public to a private agency.

I'm thinking that this cannot be correct. I've heard about a "one time" copy fee that is permissible for a foster home study transfer. Perhaps she added $500 for an adoptive homestudy and an additional $500 for the foster home study. This figure is obviously not accurate, so I could use some help from y'all.

I've had people in my ongoing training classes who've transferred both ways--private to county and vice versa, but I've never asked them about the money. I know too that somethimes when you go to a straight "adoption only" agency, the adoption agency charges the applicant a fee and they will not accept a "county home study".

How many pages is an entire foster family file?
200 pages? 900? I'm not quite sure where she'd come up with such a high figure. If the file is 200 pages and it is
$00.35 per page, that is only $70 bucks.

How were foster files handled up there in Hamilton and Franklin County when everything went private? Were foster parents charged a transfer fee?
