Help Me understand Foster Care in Pinellas County Florida
My husband and I are just starting our jorney into Foster care in Pinellas County Florida and would like to know if anyone has done their Mapp class with "Safe Children Coalition" in Largo Fl and if so, "How long after you finished the MAPP class was your homestudy completed and you were a certified Foster care home?" "Then how long did it take till you had a Child placement?" 
We are in our 9th week of MAPP class and still have not had a visit to start our home study and we heard from our Social Worker that has been assigned to us, that she still has 5 people to visit from the class before us. She said she may see us in a couple of weeks for our first visit and it could take 2 months before we are done with our home study. "I just wonder how long it took other people that have worked with this agency and what your experince has been with them?"
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
