Our kids are from Nebraska, we're in Texas. We met our kids at the beginning of September (and fell in love!). They came home at the beginning of November. Lucyjoy is probably right that it depends not only on the states, but also on the caseworkers and who know what else. All I know is that it was torture because they wouldn't even let us tell the kids we wanted to adopt them (I have to admit we hinted strongly), but they did allow us to keep in touch with them through weekly phone calls.
