So, we had to wait for FH mother to try to locate his birth certificate, which she never did! So I made his 29 year old butt just order one, and imagine that...it was shipped OVERNIGHT for a cost of just 50 dollars, lol. But that being said, we are behind our established timeline for ordering our passports. The US travel department states it takes 4-6 for regular submissions, and 2-3 wks for expedited services, but I have heard what I hope are "exaggerated stories" of how it can take months That being said we are thinking EXPEDITED is the way to go...better safe than sorry...

But out of curiosity, how long did it REALLY take for you to get your passport in the mail?

Getting a U.S. passport is not as complicated as it may seem. But of course, there are some requirements. One of the most important is having a birth certificate. If you're applying for a passport for the first time, you must complete the DS-11 form and submit evidence of U.S. citizenship. To get a US passport, it is also necessary to present an identification document to the acceptance agent. This could be a valid driver’s license, government employee ID, U.S. military or military dependent ID, and so on. About how long it takes, in my case, I received my passport in 3 weeks.
