I have quite a bit of experience, across two states. Adopted 3 boys through it (one was extremely complex and doesn’t officially count though). I’ll admit a lot of my experience is pre-covid though.

What part of the “process” are you actually in?

We are waiting on a homestudy from DCF. We completed the classes last year in June. The case worker only talks to us once every few months. Its weird, I really don't think its suposed to take this long because the things we've submitted in the begining are about to expire (Physicals, Dog rabies documentation, etc...)

That’s interesting, sorry to hear that. It definitely felt slow to us but overall was probably less than 2 months from finishing the classes. The slowest part was always the fingerprinting.

I’m guessing they’re understaffed, because working at DCF sucks. What office are you working with?

We are working with the manchester office. I am wondering if I can start going up the chain and start emailing peoples bosses to see If I can get an ETA on at least the next step.

Its hard becuase I know its a government job and there is no way someone could get fired for basically anything. So if I piss someone off they can basically blacklist me and I'll just be in limbo forever.
