We moved from CA to TX after being foster parents for 2 yrs. Since CA and TX have different mandatory training, our training had to be done all over. Some states have the same training, like MAPP or I forget what the one in TX is called. If you move to a state that does the same training, most times this does not need to be repeated. Any extra training you have done towards your yearly hours is transferrable as well.
Our adoption home study transferred as well, but had to be updated in TX since they wanted to add their own opinions of you and the fact that you moved.
At least in our situations, they would have not placed children with us from our transferring state. We were able to take our adoptive placement, since we were waiting on appeals to finalize our adoption. But as for getting new placements from our old state, absolutely not. Unless you are working with an adoption only agency.
Basically, plan on redoing everything...I'd call the state you're planning on moving to and compare notes, to see if it's worth it for you to wait until you move to begin the process.
