Sounds like our case also. Took us 11 mos to get DCF to ok the move to our home for our niece. The FP's were NEVER told about us coming forward until we mailed our niece Christmas presents and they then questioned who we were to the SW. You see, in Idaho they are only required to contact both sets of Grandparents and that was it. They both told the SW they couldn't take our niece...so they told the FP's that there was NO family interested. Only after my hubbys other sister spoke to my husband 6 wks later did we know about our niece being in foster care.
It does happen...DCF only has to do certain things in regards to locating relatives. It's so sad that they never mentioned our involvement even when we showed interest and completed our approved home study.
