The Adoption Process. The legal process of adopting, from application to finalization, can be a lengthy one. It may take six months or more from the time you apply before a child is placed in your home; it will take at least three to twelve months after that before the adoption may be finalized in court. The basic tasks in the adoption process in New York State are: 1  Choosing an adoption agency. 2  Submitting an application. 3  Completing the homestudy process. 4  Attending agency-sponsored training. 5  Working with a caseworker to find an appropriate match.
When another family is ready to adopt the child, DFPS and the family complete the adoptive placement paperwork. After children have lived in their new home for six months, the adoptive family and CPS can make the adoption permanent.he adoptive family can submit a document to court called a petition to adopt and, if approved by a judge, the adoption becomes permanent (also known as consummated). At this point, CPS is dismissed from the child's case, and DFPS will no longer be involved with the child or your family.
