I have years of experience as foster parent/foster-to-adopt parents with CT DCF. If you are dealing with DCF in the same capacity, just know that patient is necessarily. The agency is very dysfunctional and extremely slow and exceptionally frustrating to deal with. Our impression over the years is that the agency simply does not care about placing children. I could go on for days about this....

I am debating on talking to their boss and then their boss and so on. At some point there will be a person that didn't know how bad this is and will want to help.

We had to do that - we sat for month after month with zero communication from our worker at one point (immediately prior to approval) and had to complain. Another time, we were approved but our worker forgot to book us "in the book" and thus we sat for nearly 6 months without a single call about a placement.
