Rule 21.10 - VERIFICATION OF FINALITY OF PARALLEL PROCEEDINGS(a) In adoption cases where the parental rights of a biological or legal parent have been terminated in a Juvenile Court proceeding, this Court is unable to enter a Judgment of Adoption until the appeal rights of each such parent have been exhausted. This must be established by counsel for the petitioner(s).(b) If the termination proceedings were conducted in the Circuit Court for the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, upon motion, the Court will direct the Clerk of Court to certify the status of any appeal from an order terminating parental rights. Counsel is responsible for preparing an appropriate motion, order and verification statement.(c) If such proceedings occurred in any other circuit court of this State or another State, counsel for the petitioner must file an affidavit stating with particularity the status of any such appeal. Such affidavit may reflect the hearsay statement of an identified court official who has advised counsel of the information. Counsel would be well advised, however, to obtain a certified copy of the docket or mandate issued in such cases.Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Dupage Cnty. 21.10
