first, they have to tpr on both parents and make his goal termination pending adoption. every state is different. in my stated i had to complete 16 more hours of spaulding training, then after both parents were officially tpred on then the case got sent to the adoption unit and since i had already made my intentions clear that i would adopt him, they started the paper work for me to finalize. from time of initial placement til adoption was 2 1/2 years. i have never met anyone who got a child as a foster child first that finalized in under 8 months. a child must be in your home for 6 months before finalization and it usually takes more like 8-12 months.
