Starting the Florida adoption legal process means filing a petition with the court after you've been approved by a licensed agency or attorney. You'll need a home study, background checks, and consent from the birth parents, which can't be given until after the baby is born. If the parents relinquish rights, you then move to finalization, where a judge makes the adoption official. The whole thing takes several months, and an adoption attorney really helps you avoid missing steps or paperwork.
