[quote=Anonymous]We've known two separate families who have adopted 2 kids each as infants, in the US. Both families live in VA, but one adopted from Oklahoma (I think) and one adopted from Florida. In both cases, the families remained in the adoption state for approximately 2 weeks while the adoption was finalized, and once they were permitted to leave the state with the baby, there was no legal way for the birth mother to reclaim rights. Neither family had to wait very long to adopt either child. In the case of the 2nd child for each family, they were approached by the adoption agency like, "Hey, ready for another? Because we've got one for you!" In all cases the waits were well less than the 42 weeks (each) I had to wait for my bio kids! If I were to adopt, this is how I would do it. [/quote]
