I think it actually depends on which name you want the child baptized by. Our son, who was with a different foster family at the time, turned 8 and was baptized by his foster father at that time. We didn't adopt him until a year later although we had his sister placed with us at the time he was baptized so we knew when he was baptized. Utah at least will allow them to be baptized as long as it is okayed by the state or the birthparents if they still have custody but if you want it done under his new legal name, you would need to wait.
