We're playing the waiting game too- only we're still waiting for our license! We've been waiting 10 weeks from the time of our last home study (which was the end of the application process). I really hope it doesn't take too long for a placement because I'm not sure I can wait any longer!I have heard about foster families that got a license and then had a placement the next day. I think they took a sibling group. I've also heard that if you can't do that, then you should try to make yourself well known with the social workers (not wine-and-dine). Call your "agency" to see if they have an "open bed" list. I've heard that new foster families are not automatically put on it as soon as their license comes- you have to ask for it. Also, attend meetings and get your name, face, and situation in the social workers heads. Take emergency placements. Of course, this is all theory since we're not even licensed yet. Good luck!
