Our fingerprints took 4 weeks to come back.

I would tell you to go ahead and get basic furniture that will accommodate the kids you are being certified for (babies, school age, boys, girls, etc). I would also start picking up stuff if you don't have any children now, like puzzles, coloring books, crayons, etc that children of various ages can do or use. We also got board games, uno, leggos, etc. I woudl also make sure you have a kids extra toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo/condition, brush/comb, etc. Maybe everytime you go out, pick yourself up a giftcard for target, walmart, etc. this way when you have a placement, use the giftcards to buy necessities and you aren't spending all the money at one time unexpectedly.

Good luck!
