DFCS told the foster parents of our kids about a week before we met the kids. The FPs were not supposed to tell them but the day we met them they started calling us their new mom and dad so someone spilled the beans.
As far as when they will move in really depends on quite a few things like the time of year (they would want to wait until a break in school) or waiting on TPR to be granted. In our case we were matched in Jan just a few days before TPR was granted, then the parents filed an appeal and then they made a last ditch effort to find family to take all of them even though they had been in care for over 5 years w/o anyone qualifying. We ended up not meeting the kids until May and they moved in in June for an extended visit (over a month long visit where they didn't have to pay anyone a per diem cause it was just a visit) and were formally placed in July.
