We are still waiting for our
home study to be submitted to the DCFS for approval. Our oldest daughter’s
fingerprints are the hold up. We have been doing everything that we can to try
to move this forward. When I did some looking into Accurate Biometrics on their
website, I found that prints are typically processed within 24-48 hours. The
prints were taken Nov. 12, over three months ago! On the website they gave a
phone number for the IL Police Dept where you can call to check on
the status of prints. I called and was told that the results were sent via
email on Nov. 14. The officer then told me that it was a good thing that I
called that day, because after 90 days they will not resubmit the results. It
was day 89. The State Police resubmitted the results that day. This took place
a couple of weeks ago.
Last Friday when I contacted
one of our social workers again regarding this matter, I was told that it’s
only been three weeks. Back in January I was asked to sign the application for
Emily’s fingerprints. This was the same application that had already been
processed back in November. The application says right on it that people 17
years old or older do not require a parent’s signature. I told the social
worker this, but I went ahead and signed it and sent it back to her. The
request was then resubmitted. It’s only been three weeks since the signed
application was batched to the DCFS on 2/6. I guess I just don’t understand how
some of the process works, but something doesn't seem right here. I’m
sure that I am driving my social workers nuts at this point, and annoying
my social workers definitely is not my goal. My goal is to get our child home
as soon as possible. Please pray that this paper issue will soon be resolved. I
will try to hold on to the fact that God’s timing is perfect.
