[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would prefer for the birth parents to be given time to think this through after birth, then the adoptive parents come and get the bai. It is a nightmare if they go home with the baby and then have to give it back.
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[/quote]

If the birth mother took the baby home that would be tremendously more difficult and most likely the adoption wouldn’t happen.[/quote]

Then maybe the adoption wasn't meant to happen.

I'm an adoptive parent.  I know that adoption was the right choice for my kid, whose birth mother was unable to keep him.  But adoption should be about finding homes for babies who have already lost theirs.  It should address the loss, not create it.

Practices like matching birth parents and prospective adoptive parents before birth, or having prospective parents visit in the hospital are coercive, and shouldn't be allowed.  If there's any doubt in a parent's mind, the baby should go home with birth parents, or into foster care, until there is clarity.  [/quote]
