I spoke with the guardian in litem today about the child I am trying to adopt. She said that the mother is trying to appeal the parental termination rights decision. How long can this appeal take? She also told me to bother my adoption SW to complete my homestudy and etc. Is this right? I have been consistent with the SW and I really want this child but should you call the SW every week to "stay current in her mind"? Once you start a homestudy with the state, how long does it normally take to complete it?
