This is where event-driven approaches
become really useful :)

subprocess process:

#1. When my subprocess process has successfully
       started notify the parent.
#2. When my subprocess process has successfully
       created a listening socket, notify the parent.

parent process:

#1. When our subprocess process has
       successfully started a listening socket
       initiate a connection.

I could implement a prototype of this
if the OP is interested.
