I understand being emotionally drained, but your timeline does not seem unusual. The baby to which we were referred was born on November 29th. He is almost 4 months old and we still do not have DNA authorization. However, this doesn't mean that things aren't happening with the case. While we were waiting for I-171H, the case was being translated, and entering Family Court. Then, there are meetings with the pbirthmom and reports to write. I know it's hard, but this all takes time and 8 weeks seems really short to me. We feel that our process has gone pretty smoothly even though we do not have DNA yet. When I think about the time that I am missing with him, I remind myself that we will have an entire lifetime to share. Sometimes this helps. As others have stated, I would have a frank discussion with your agency about the details of what is going on. I know that it helps me to hear even the smallest movement on the case. The reality is that the US requirements are adding more time to the timelines--and we perhaps need to readjust our expectations.

Our prayers are with you.
