Want to become social worker for adoption agencies. What do i study?

According to some on this board, adoption = abandonment by the mother. Why do you want to encourage that?

Social work is usually a specific degree program.

You want to separate children from their parents. Great goal, best of luck with that! May that be returned to you in spades!

If you want to work for an adoption agency, get a business degree. They are all about making money off unfortunate women by buying and selling their babies to the highest bidder. Adoption agencies don't give a hoot about the welfare kids, they just want to make a buck. If you truly want to help children, get a BS degree in sociology or psychology and a MS degree in social work and work for the department of social services. There you can help kids who truly need homes rather than stealing babies from poor people. You sound like an awesome person. Don't throw your ideals away on the corrupt adoption agency industry.

Major in Social Work

Many colleges and universities have a separate social work major. I would look for that. While either psychology or sociology would be a good minor, the social work major tracks more seamlessly into higher education programs and jobs, and some schools with Master of Social Work (MSW) programs will expect a social work major at the undergrad level. If you want to help kids, teens, and young adults, though, I suggest you shoot for a job in your state's foster care or juvenile systems... since social workers for adoption agencies mainly deal with newborns and expectant mothers. Another possibility would be to go into psychology instead of social work. I don't think a job as an adoption agency social worker really fits what you want to do.

try for a 5 year msw program that will give you a master's. In that field you won't really be able to make money (or find a job either) without a masters. I admire your willingness to help children, I don't think I could take it.

child psychology but ask your college advisor/ counselor

I would say a Masters in Social Work as well. I'm confused on how some people misinterpreted your question maybe I dont understand your question... Good Luck!
