That all depends on the state. After my son's birth mom TPR'd (in court even!), she still had a month to revoke her consent and get him back, no questions asked. So did his birth dad and 3 tribes! I know other posters have had longer waits. Remember for some states, their still can be a lengthy revocation period after TPR.

Nurse_reedle-that was the most nervewracking month of my life waiting for that. However, I'd do it again in a heart beat. Yes it's scary, it's terrifying to fall in love with a child that you have 0 legal rights to. But it's worth it! Domestic adoptions can go well! It has gone well for us, so well that we'll probably do it again sometime. Honestly, I just had to trust God. I trusted that things would turn out how they were meant to.
