Once legally free how long does it take?

As DianeS stated, there are many different situations. Our "foster to adopt" daughter moved in the end of September last year. TPR was filed in January. At that time her CW started putting together dd's adoption final. After many continuances, TPR was granted on 7/17. DFCS has the paperwork all ready and set to go. We live in Georgia and are signing the adoption comittment on August 25 (would have been sooner, but turnover in the office and vacations delay things). Our court date for adoption will most likely be the end of September.
