THINKING of adoption again...does this sound right?

Just completed my adoption a few months ago, but might be at this again. I contacted my agency and told them I might be starting the process again soon and they said that my I 171 H is good until the end of the year, so therefore good through the DNA testing if I act quickly. Then, I would just have to get a new I 171 (when the current one expires) before travelling for PU. Does this sound accurate (even if the form expires mid-process, as longs as it's current for DNA and then at PU?)

I would have to get an amended homestudy (how long does this take normally?) and another I 600. I am trying to figure out how quickly I can get this together as the agency said boy referrals are almost immediate (no wait). I was fortunate that I didn't have to wait on a girl referral before, but now there seems to be a mad dash to start the adoptions w/the situation in Guate.

Any ideas on what all I need to do? It's amazing how I'm still at a loss even after doing this not so long ago
