My sister recently adopted a baby. The birth parents allowed her to be with the baby right from birth. The hospital allowed my sister and husband to stay in a "Hospitality room" after the birth. The baby was allowed to stay with my sisiter. The birth parents signed over all medical decisions and legal rights to my sister as soon as the baby was born. The birth parents left the hospital before the baby was released and my sister was able to take him home. My sister is unable to have children, so this was a wonderful way for her to experience "having a child". I commend you for your brave decision! Please consider allowing someone to adopt that is unable to have children of their own.
