New Foster Parent watiting For placement!!

Sinner, assuming it works the same in your region as it does in region 3 (DFW), here is a simplified basic placement:Investigator/caseworker submits kid's information to CPU (central processing)CPU puts out a referral to every agency in the regionEach agency who deals with that kind of referral and who has an appropriate home calls their peopleEach agency who receives a yes from one of their people submits those familiesThe family is chosen. Now this could be based on location (for example, the OP and I would rarely even be in the running for the same kids because we're on opposite sides of the region). It could be that a name comes up they saw before. They could get a referral from another CPS worker (how I got my Monkey). They could be looking for a certain quality. They could be looking for....whatever. CPU approves the placementWorker works with your agency or you to work out physical placement which almost always must be done at your homeKids get there.
