In Michigan the mother has to go before the court for TPR, she can't just sign papers. After TPR it should take about 2-3 days for Michigan to complete the ICPC paperwork and send it to Indiana, then 2-3 days for Indiana to complete their portion. Once that's complete we can leave the state. So all total it's a 2-3 week stay. Fortunately I have family in the area so we're going to stay with them rather than having to live in a hotel for 3 weeks. Then a six month period before finalization.

Our experience exactly! (But NY instead of Indiana)
