I think it depends on your area. In our county, kinship only requires that you pass a background check and a home study. However, if the caseworker has concerns, they can request additional stuff to take place like some parent training, psych evals, etc. Depends on how qualified the kinship placement is. That can happen as quickly as 2 weeks or it can take QUITE awhile. Our county caseworkers rarely hesitate to start kinship paperwork because it's a heck of a lot cheaper to put the kids in kinship placements than regular foster.
