adoption Red file staffing

How long a family has been waiting holds no weight in a red file staffing. The priority is to find the right family for the child, not necessarily to find a child for a family. There could be a family who just got certified and another who has been certified for 3 years - if the family certified for 3 years is not a good match, can't meet the needs of the child, etc. but the newly certified family is a good fit then they will select the newly certified family (and vice versa). Good luck!!
