How long until your homestudy after turning in your registration to adopt from foster care?

We were told that our registration was turned over to a social worker for homestudy purposes but I was wondering how long it usually takes before the social worker contacts you to start the homestudy process. Thanks for your help.

It has been a little over 2 weeks since they received it....I was hoping that they just have not gotten to us yet rather than thinking they didn't like our registration & aren't going to call us...

I am in Canada and it took CAS a full year to get back to us :(
We handed it in in Sept and got a call the following August from a social worker and began are homestudy in sept oct. However we were placed with kids three weeks after our homestudy was complete

Like Kazi, I'm in Canada as well and we had our first visit with the SW within two weeks after the file was transfered to her for the home study. We could have had it sooner but we had some events planned as well as some foster care training that conflicted.

I guess it all depends upon the work load in your area.

Sigh. This is where CAS really earns their reputation for disorganization and dragging their feet. I don't know how it works everywhere, but in my province and district (I'm in Canada), it can take up to 6 months before a social worker can begin your home study. However, if you used a private practitioner, obviously they can do your home study almost immediately. The only difference of course is that if you use an non-CAS worker, then you will have to pay. Since we had already adopted from China, we decided to pay our previous social worker to update our home study simply because we did not want such an extended length of time.

Good luck!!

Within a week.
Don't make yourself overly nervous about it either. They won't pass a white glove inspection.
Be yourself.
Good luck.

For us it was over 6 weeks!

I can say that much depends on how many others are turning in theirs, how many workers there are...

I think around week 4 I called just to confirm it wasn't lost in the bottom of someones in basket... About a week later I was told who our Social Worker would be and that he had two other families in front of ours to get to work on....
