In WI you are required to be a "foster parent" for 6 months before the adoption is complete. During this 6 months the birthmothers rights will already be terminated so there is not a risk of her being able to take the child back, the only risk of the child being returned to the agency or state foster care system is if for some reason the post placement visit (required by WI law) goes bad, like if baby is abused or neglected. (not saying you'd do that, just saying why they do the post placement and why it's a six month wait)
