hi amy
we were told it would be 6 to 9 mo to finalize in cali. tho we ended up finalizing in FL so it didnt matter in the end. i know that there is a waiting period after the birth for the bp's to sign the relinquishments. i think it has to be 72 hours after the birth before they can sign, but not sure on that number. and they have up to 30 days after the birth to sign. tho we were told by our agency that in most of their adoptions, they are signed within 2 weeks. there are also laws about how and where ap's can network, so you have to be aware of those too.
are you planning on a cali adoption only? if your bp's are in another state, things could be very different. all states vary on their laws. but if you open yourself up to other states, of course that opens up your options too.
hope this helps!
