We have not moved but we have our fson because the family that was hoping to adopt him (TPR extentions and extentions) had to move out of state and were unable to take D with them. This was his second placement. They had him for about 6 months and did a long transition into another preadopt home. The fmother stated in state while husband left to allow this to happen. Well, that preadopt placement fell apart at month 4. So then he went into an emergency placement for two weeks until our paperwork could be signed. So we are foster home 5 in under 2 years and the 3rd preadopt home. We are really hoping the the TPR hearing next week is really it as D has not been with his bmom for 20 months and with the other times he was taken out of the home, it has been well over 2 years in care.

If your placements are usually short term and you are not taking preadoptive placements, I think that you are not being bad by waiting until closer to your move. But as licences don't move from state to state, you should probably contact the area agency where you will be moving a few months before you move, at about the same time you tell your local agency. Then if the new place calls your local group, they have a heads up.
