Product Description
When parents adopt a newborn or have a child through a surrogate in the U.S., they often meet their baby at the hospital. The period leading up to, and just after, your child’s birth is intensely emotional, and involves many practical and legal decisions.
Adoption attorney Peter J. Wiernicki, Esq., answers questions about notifying the hospital, the expectant mother’s/carrier’s birth plan, access to the baby and his or her medical records, termination of parental rights in adoption, filing for a birth certificate, discharge, getting ICPC clearance, and more.
