adopting Florida child from out of state

Have any of you adopted a child from Florida's foster care out of the state? I am wondering about your experience with ICPC, time frame, visits, etc. We are looking at a teen and are in PA. Thanks!

It is really going to depend on the county the child is from. All counties have different agencies that contract with DCF. Some counties have more then one agency and all of them have there own way of doing things. The state does have timelines for the home study, ICPC ect...but it still depends on the agency how the rest of the process goes.
