DCFS - "Hurry Up & Wait Stage"

Our adoption agency FexEx'd our home study to the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services on May 10th. It was signed for last Wednesday, May 12th. We've been told that it has been taking roughly six to eight weeks for DCFS to sign off on it.

Our next step is to submit an I-800A, "Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child from a Convention Country" to the United States Citizen and Immigration Services. However, 10 documents need to accompany it, including the Home Study, so we are currently in a "hurry up and wait" stage, at the mercy of DCFS.

Hopefully, we will be able to proceed by the end of June! Lord, give me patience.
