moving out of state with foster/adopt kids

yes it is. we did it. you can actually get permission to do it prior to tpr(in some circumstances), but then they have to notify the parents where their child went. to keep some level of anonymity, our caseworker asked us to wait until tpr....bc then we did not have to notify them. we left maybe 2 weeks after...and long before hte appeal period was even up. it is completely possible. it happens. the problem will be in your new state. my old state had already approved us...we had taken all our classes, prints, etc. our new state wanted us to start OVER. so...we had to go all the way back to square one....which in essence means, once we ARE able to finalize...we probably spent an extra 10 months in process because we didn't wait 4 months in our old state to finalize. for us, it was the best we could do AND keep our fmaily together...so we made some sacrifices....but it is crappy to start over. the icpc approval was painless. it took maybe 2 weeks....while we were in old state anyway...there seemed to be some sort of delay, but when i asked where i'd leave the baby if i couldn't take him, the icpc mysteriously came the next day....1 whole day before we left. the hardest part was once we were here, new state ignored us for over 3 months....lost time, and then we found out we had to start over. i guess if there were a way for you to stay put, that would be best for your actual adoption...but if there is not, talk to your worker, they should be able to work it all out.
