How long after being shown a profile and saying you wanted to be considered for it did you wait to be told yes / no regarding that child?
I've been waiting around 9 weeks now for an update from my SW after she put us forward for a LO and when I tried to chase this up with her I was just told that these things take time …. this seems like a really long time though, when we've only seen their pen picture and not even their full PAR? Surely at so early in the process their social worker would've replied by now with a "No thanks" or a "Delayed due to X, will let you know by Y." ?
I'm feeling so despaired by the whole process after approval and just want some reassurance that this is normal or not as SW is really not being forthcoming with any explanations or assurances.
If this really is a normal timescale then it feels like we will be waiting years for a match! (And we've got a really wide matching criteria so this seems so odd - although I do appreciate COVID has messed things up).
