You might find out if the state you are moving too has a waiting period before you can adopt.

FC may be different but I know my co-worker's son was living in a state that required you be a resident with the child in that state for 6 months before the adoption could go through. Their situation was a little different where he was wanting to adopt his step-son... and it had nothing to do with parental rights of the bio-dad, bdad is in jail and had signed over his rights to the child before the baby was born. The baby was conceived via a "date rape drug".... so it definitely didn't have anything to do with the bio-dad.
