An inquiry is created when an individual contacts an agency representative about becoming a foster or adoptive parent. This includes kinship providers. Contacts may be made in person, in writing, or by phone. If you work at a public agency, you can view inquiries of any agency. If you work at a private agency, Ohio SACWIS allows you to view the inquiries made to your own agency. (See About provider information for more.)
