Hi all
So my husband and I got matched end of April 2017 and we still haven't been given a date for bridging. Our case is F2A. We got approved for adoption mid April then a few days later we had the phone call to so we'd been matched. We have had so many SW which keeps slowing our case. We had to be approved as temporary foster carer due to the child/ren in question. This went through fine.
Our new SW is doing his very best to get the ball moving but it's making us feel like we have done everything for nothing. Starting to feel of put with it all. What he's saying basically is the child's SW manager clearly hasn't pushed the pen that needs pushing and it's them we are awaiting on. The child/ren know they are going to a forever family but we still haven't been given a bridging date.
Could anyone who has been or is in our situation give me some reassurance that things will be fine or are they taking their time because they don't want to place child with us. It is getting us both down which our social worker understands as he's feeling the strain too.
He said if there is no communication between the relevant people he will be taking it higher.
I know it's not going to be overnight but we just keep hearing the same old every time. Had no proper update in a few weeks.
We've been to see the current foster carer and they are lovely. But still nothing seems to be being done. Am I being unreasonable about the length of time waited or should it have all been done and dusted in our months of being approved?
Please advise but try not to be negative as I don't want to feel worse. Thanks for reading and I await your comments xx
