I can't actually say as I am not a windows programmer, but I can offer a possible alternative... If you have an application where your child is simply waiting you could use a socketpair instead of a signal. Not only is it probably safer it is much more robust, and allows to to send info back and forth between the two. Obviously it doesn't help when you want to interrupt something, but often that is not necessary.
