Our Perm. hearing is scheduled a month after the tpr hearing. Do you think they will move the case down to my state as well?

Idaho I doubt will move anything to your state. They are very stubborn about that. In fact the adoption coordinator there in Boise told us flat out they will NOT move the jurisdication to Florida until right before the adoption. They did not want Florida to have a DCF case number or anything because then that meant they would not receive money for the adoption. All her court cases were in Idaho and only court we had to attend was the adoption finalization here. So, because Idaho receives money for every adoption they have then they refuse to move the cases to the receiving states. Then they lose that money so it's not a good thing if you are trying to get it moved to your state.

But in the end it worked out because Idaho gave us 2k in travel expenses which Florida would not do if we did our adoption subsidy thru Florida.
