Not much of an update on the paperwork front. We are currently in a "hurry up and wait" stage. We have met all of the requirements of our Home Study. Our adoption agency is wrapping up the final touches on it right now and will be submitting it to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services for review.
From talking to other parents from Illinois who are adopting, I've learned that DCFS is sort of a "black hole"...that our paperwork will probably take well over a month or more to process. Even our social worker told me that she's not even allowed to call DCFS to check on it for 3 weeks.
Our next step is to submit a request to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services for permission to adopt a foreign child. Our request must be accompanied by roughly 10 documents, including the Home Study.
In the mean time, we are each wrapping up our final two book reports a piece (part of the Hague regulations).
I figured today might be a good day to post the next category from our trivia night.
