How Long After Remittitur was Released Did Adoption Occur

I don't know what state you're in or how things work where you are. However, here they don't begin the adoption process until the tpr is final and the child/ren has been in your home at least 6 months. All of that being said...from the time you start adoption until the judge slams that gavel making it official, usually takes a good long while. In our case bio parents were tpr'd in April of 2017 (they fought, lost and decided not to appeal). Our adoption was complete the end of September 2017. It took us 5 moths from tpr to finalization and in Maine, that's unheard of. We had special circumstances I won't get into at the moment, but the adoption worker commented several times how ridiculously fast the process was going for us. The people I've spoken to, who weren't as "lucky" as we were to have things rushed through, say it takes at least a year from start to finish. Not for nothing, I thought 5 months was a really long time. It was a very painfully long 5 months.
