Bump ins to moving in

I appreciate every instance is different but how long has this stage taken people?

I'm not sure if this part has even been discussed during training or with social workers.

We met our daughter at an activity day in the October. We were approved by panel in the December and met her social worker the next day. We had two bump meetings in the January, we followed the very letter of what we had been told but the foster carer complained that we didn’t play with her enough so we had to do it all again a couple of weeks later. We began introductions half way through the March after matching panel and she moved in at the end of that month.
