YES!! In all jurisdictions that I know of, if all other factors are taken care of (TPR, appeal, etc) that "6 month" rule starts counting from the minute the child comes into your home. In fact, with ours, we were told we could adopt the same day as the TPR (since it was a voluntary surrender, so no appeal) since he'd already been with us 9 months.
