hi and congrats!
we adopted in Illinois (we flew from California) and it was no problem. we got last minute flights that were quite cheap, and since bmom signed on a saturday the paperwork wasn't filed until the following monday and we were free to travel on wednesday. We booked a flight and headed out of town on a thursday, exactly 8 days after the birth of our daughter. We made a doc appt at a local doc the day before travel to make sure she was gaining weight and didn't have any issues before flying home. it was no problem other than the fact that everyone, and I mean everyone, wanted to interact with her. took us forever to get from point a to point b, and then keep dd free of adult germs. Still it worked for us, and we also had her seen a few days after we landed back home to make sure she was okay.
good luck,
LisaCA
