It depends on if it is contested or not. We were told that if it is not contested (and you have already been selected as the adoptive family) then they can grant tpr and adopt at the same time. If that's the case it is just a matter of getting a courtdate 30 days after filing. If it is contested and goes to trial then it can take a little longer. In our state the bp's have 30 days to decide whether to contest and file a request to do so with the court. They are then assigned new attorneys and start the process that will end up with a trial.
