The hospital should be notified of the adoption as far in advance of the birth mother's due date as possible. You should inform the hospital soon after you match with a birth mother. In an independent adoption, the birth mother's attorney usually makes initial contact with the hospital. In an agency adoption, communication is usually initiated by the social worker who has been guiding and counseling the birth mother.
Typically, a birth center is an independent facility, though a growing number are affiliated with and often housed inside hospitals. At a freestanding birth center, you'll get prenatal care throughout your pregnancy, give birth there, and go there for your postpartum checkups. Birth centers also offer childbirth education and breastfeeding classes. In-hospital birth centers operate a little differently.
