It was the end of September when we turned in our paperwork and I know they have upto 6 months to do our homestudy, but I have friends who are fostering and just finished class Saturday, got their homestudy on Monday. I have talked several times to the SW and had a few appointments but the first time it snowed and she couldn't make it, then the 2nd one I had to change because of a school program for my oldest. The 3rd she said she just forgot. Now she is on vacation till after the 1st of the year. She did say that if she hasn't called by the end of the day on Jan 3rd to call her to set the appointment.
I think here in AR they are faster when you are going foster/adopt rather than straight adoption. But it isn't as if we are looking for a baby or infant, we are actually looking for 1 or 2 boys between 5 and 11.
February will mark one year since we started down this journey, that is when we made the first call to DHS. I am feeling a little down because it feels like it is taking soooooo long.
