They will have to complete an ICPC which can take awhile. The state you are in will request a home study from the state she's in also. Since they are licensed already then it may speed it up.

Have you asked to speak to the relative over the phone? Maybe just getting to know them may help keep a relationship going between you and the kids (if they decide to move the kids to the relatives home). I wish our niece's previous FP's would have been positive about us coming forward instead of fighting us from moving her. It would have made it alot easier on our niece with her transition to our home and I wouldn't feel like I can't trust them right now. All they had to do was pick up the phone and call us and speak to us...instead they closed that communication down and hired an attorney.
