Adoption

Published

Hi there, I am finishing up my ADN degree with precepting on an O.B. floor. I recently experienced the birth of a baby to a mother who was adopting out. We cared for all parties involved. It was a great experience for me, but it also raised a question in my mind... The mother can decide to keep the baby even after the adoptive parents take the baby home because the adoption is not final until a future court date. I don't feel this is right especially when adopting out is in the best interest of the baby. Are there reasons why an adoption can't be finalized before the baby is born?

I'm just curious how others feel about this??
