Yeah to me it wasnt worth the risk, we asked our attorney and she said a myriad of things could happen from them imposing a fine on us to removing our child... definitely not worth it ! lol

With all 3 adoptions, in 3 different states we were told that we could NOT leave the birth state, could not cross the state lines until we were cleared by both states. I know that a lot of attorneys & agencies tell you that once the bstate clears you, you are free to travel but for me I wouldnt risk it. In fact, with this last adoption we were cleared by the birthstate on Friday, if we had left we would have been in violation because on Monday we got notified by the receiving state that the sending states paperwork was incomplete - therefore we hadnt really been cleared.
