My Brother lost custody of 3 other children.
Girlfriend Lost custody of 4 other children.
Now together they have one child that is in foster care with my parents, Yes thats a total of 8 children.
The SW is considering TPR because Father is in Jail Mother tested Dirty for Meth.
Both parents are Meth users and very aggresive.
I have spoken to the SW and infor them that I am intrested in Adopting the Baby. SW is ok with that but they will need to work on an ICPC with my angency and we are prepared to do so. I am in AZ child is in CA.
I am just wondering how long will they give the parents this being their second case for both parents.
First case for my brother they gave him 2 1/2 years before the TPR.
First case for the Mother they gave her 4 years before TPR, the TPR for her first case was TODAY.
Thanks.

Hi Jessie
I know a little about ICPC so let me try to explain how it normally works. The Social Worker will have to send a request to ICPC to do a homestudy at your home. Meaning the state you live in will have a sw call you to set up an appointment once she gets the request. The worker will come out and get information from you, run a background and fingerprint check, and she will make sure you have a bed for the baby to sleep in. Working with ICPC takes a little more time than working in your local area. I would imagine it would take about 3-4 months to actually get custody of the baby. But you do need to keep calling them now and after they do your homestudy to keep them on their toes. :)
