There are two court appearances. The first, and lengthier of the two, involves a judge (in the city where the orphanage housing your child is located) asking you questions about your paperwork. The questions are designed to confirm the answers you provided in your paperwork. The first court appearance takes between 60 and 90 minutes. The second court appearance, when the judge signs the final decree, takes approximately 15 minutes.
