I emailed B’s social worker today to see if there was any update. She said that they were starting the official placement paperwork today. That’s expected to take about a month. A month from now is really bad timing for us since we have a weekend and a half of foster parent training to do, then a week off, and then I’m out of town for a business trip for 5 days. We would need to postpone anything until the second week of September when things settle down. I don’t really believe that anything that is planned to take one month will take less than six weeks anyway in AdoptionWorld.
I emailed her back about B’s legal status and haven’t heard back yet. That makes me wonder what we aren’t being told…
I’ve heard the same thing: what they tell you and what the reality is are quite different.
Hope it goes well for you.
