 Must apply to court to make it legal. Need an attorney to make sure no errors occur.  Adoption agency submits a report to the parents and the agency seeks written consent from the birth parent(s).

 Most states that approve adoption issue a temporary order.  Agency or birth parents remain legal guardians until 6-12 month waiting period expires then they automatically become legally responsible parent of the child
