Hey, Tina. We are almost done with our six month waiting period here in Ohio. Our finalization is in October, yeah! Anyway, we used an agency, so that's what I know. The bparents can not sign before the 72 hours after birth, but once they sign, their parental rights are terminated. It is six months after that, that the adoption can become final. Basically the six months is just to make sure that everything is working okay, you like being parents, the social worker thinks you're good at being parents, etc. I've enjoyed our six months since we get to show off the baby to our social worker.

Hope that helps.
