I am waiting also but in another state , did you get both the background check & fingerprints back? Did you take your classes yet , or have your home study ? Our social worker got ours back a little over a month ago , Now we are waiting for DCF to enter all our info into their system ( it's been over 3 weeks since they got it ) We were told they have up to 6 wks to get it entered . So we may have 3 more weeks ???
It really would be nice if the SW would tell us the steps and time frame

It took several months waiting for the home study and licensing after we finished all of the stuff that we could do. It is a slow, painful process, but we are just waiting on our piece of paper to make it official! It took 6 months from the time we called to get to this point.
I would call and touch base to see if you are on the list to get your home study done.
Yes, I think every state does it differently so without knowing what else you have completed it'd be hard to know. For us, the background check and some initial paperwork were all completed at the orientation meeting. I'd say it took about a month from the meeting until when we heard what was the next step. It took us about 4 months to complete the classes and trainings (could've been faster but we couldn't make all the first options for classes) and then after references came back in we scheduled home study. I'd say altogether the process took us 6 months. We probably could've shaved about 2 off if we were faster.
We got our first placement about a week and a half after getting licensed.
Yeah we have everything back!! We got everything done right away!! And we started in January! It's been four months so far and now that we are finished I haven't heard anything else :( :(!! I know they have alot of work and are short handed!! I think I will call today if nothing is in the mail too see where we stand!
