How long do I/we have to wait for a placement?

It is impossible to answer this very common question. Normally it takes anywhere from 30 - 90 days to complete the “mechanics” of the process; background checks, classes, home study, etc. Once you have all the paperwork done and an approved home study that’s when a placement can happen. We’ve known families to be placed before the ink is dry on their home study and others that have waiting over a year to be placed. The Wing-Kovarik’s found their selection and placement to move along very quickly, must faster then they first imagined. Other keys that may play into the amount of time you could be waiting are the type of placement, age, number of kids, etc.
