In our state, the birth mom signs off her parental rights 24 to 48 hours after delivery. I loved the agency we worked with because they were very straightforward (and loving) with the birth moms and gave them opportunities to change their mind. Which for us, the adoptive parents, was very scary. While in the hospital, we allowed the birth mom to see Max as often as she wanted. As scary as that was, we wanted her to have every opportunity to do what she needed to do to be 100% sure about her decision.<br /><br />We are adopting again and I just have to remind myself often that God is in control and he knows exactly who are next child is going to be!<br /><br />Blessings on your adoption adventure!abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09783545875592259704noreply@blogger.com
