I adopted my son in May 2003 from Missouri. I got to take him home from the hospital. The birthmother had to wait AT LEAST 48 hours after giving birth. That is to make sure she is not on any pain meds that could influence her decision. She can take as long as she needs though. After she signed, we had to go to court a few days later for TPR. She was not required to show up and she didn't. After that, she could not change her mind. Then we finalized 6 months later. We had to stay in Missouri for about 1 1/2 weeks total before we could go home. I hope that this helps.
