Did anyone have an adoption fall through at the hospital

I'm so happy for you OP. I was a PP that adopted a baby boy in the Spring of 2017. Enjoy your baby girl.

She is just cute as a button and this feels AMAZING! She has two older brothers and they are eating her up. I also have never used formula and omg what a game changer and so much easier. Now everyone can feed her! Ahhh this is awesome!

Be careful about posting pictures of her online. My friend's daughter was followed by her birth mom on FB and she made contact after friend died from breast cancer. It was not a good scene as she wanted to talk trash about the girl's upbringing and her recently departed mother.

In Maryland the mother has 2 weeks to change her mind. This is a permanent solution with devastating consequences should she bitterly regret it for the rest of her life

In Maryland it’s 30 days.
I don’t know why all of you guys would rather a baby live in limbo with no permanent family in case the birth mother changes her mind. She should have time, yes, I agree, but that time should be capped so that the baby has the chance to bond with a permanent family of the birth parents cannot or do not wish to raise him. A month seems reasonable to me.

Off topic but my parents are limbo foster parents for a private agency. They keep the baby while the mother decides. That way the adoptive parents don’t have to meet and relinquish the baby, and the birth mother has time to process without dealing with a newborn.
