We adopted our little boy from Indiana. We finalized in November. I believe that the birthfather can sign before the baby is born because our baby's b-father was presented with the papers before he was born. He waited until after the baby was born to sign, but he could have before. We finalized in Indiana, but we did not have to travel to Indiana for finalization. We did it by phone. We live in Missouri and it was faster to finalize through Indiana than it was through Missouri. Finalization in Indiana is usually done within 2-3 months. I haven't heard of it only taking 30 days.
Hope this info helps. Our baby came from Indianapolis. I could give you the name of our attorney if you are interested. He is a very experienced adoption attorney.
