She said she'll be in touch in the next few weeks or by the end of Dec. at the latest.....WHAT....this is just crazy....

I was just reading through this thread and I have to agree with the consensus here....you need a lawyer, asap. The longer your relative is in foster care, the more bonded he/she is going to be to the foster parent, so time is of the essence. Unless CPS can show some reason why your home is not "fit" (and I'm not implying they can...I seriously doubt they can) they have a legal obligation to complete your study and place the child with you...I HATE how CPS plays games with the kids lives, for their various STUPID reasons.
I will mention one other option. I had a problem with getting our DFCS office to pay for the after school care, that some of our kids were in when they came to our home. They said they would when they placed them with us, then changed their mind when they got the bill. After a LONG battle over this, I contacted my local state representative. HE got involved and all of a sudden people were jumping through hoops for us...the director called US to rectify the situation. And yes...they paid for it as agreed. So contact your local representative...maybe he can help.
