Virginia doesn't require fingerprints...
But TExas does. It took 4 weeks for our Virginia criminal background checks to come back. When DS was born in Texas and we decided to finalize there, we had to provide fingerprints. That took 4 weeks and DH had to submit a second set because they couldn't read his first set.
As you can see, fingerprinting requirements vary from state to state and by whether this is a parental placement or foster care adoption. Seems though that the 'norm' is 4-6 weeks.
