We know that we want to travel out of state or out of the country soon. Should we wait until after our travels to start the adoption process?
No. You should go ahead and start the adoption process. If the facts of your case will make traveling inadvisable after the adoption case is filed with the court, we can at least start the paperwork so it is ready to be filed upon your return. In many cases, traveling after the adoption case has been filed with the court simply involves securing a court order allowing you to travel with the child out of Illinois.
