I am adopting in TX but live in NY. I went through an agency and I can give you my timeframe if it helps.

Application depends on you and your state. You need to have a checkup, TB & HIV Test (about a week for results). Fingerprints & background checks from your state & TX (about 6 weeks possibly sooner for results) I needed to take an infant CPR class. Not sure if you have to do it (depends on when class is scheduled). I needed tax records for the application. The actuall application took about a week. I dont now what type of application it will be with a lawyer. As for the Health, Social, Educational and Gentic History that was all part of my application. Homestudy depends on when you can get an appointment and what your state requirements are for a homestudy. You lawyer can tell you that probably.

Hope that helps

Alison
