1st meeting and visitation

We have been matched with a 8 yr old boy. We have been over the IEP, pychological reports and spoken with the foster mother over the phone. We are interested in meeting the young man. The problem is that we want to proceed cautiously and try our best to see if its a good match for all. When we spoke to the FM she was under the impression that we had decided to proceed. She even asked what we thought the child would need and listed things he would bring with him. Note that we had never spokent to her prior to this and in fact, got permission to call her from the child's social worker. Should this raise a red flag or are we being paranoid. Also, what should we look for in terms of a visitation schedule. We do not want to be rushed, but does anyone know what is reasonable? We are not getting good answers. No one at our initial informational meeting had been through the process before.
I appreciate any input or thoughts you may have. Its an exciting time, but nerve racking....
