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.
If the birth parents are working through an adoption agency, they should be aware that the agency's attorney represents the agency and not the birth parent. It is wise for birth parents to have a separate and independent attorney who can represent them and review the papers before the signing.f it's an agency adoption, the birth parent may sign the papers at the agency office. It may be more prudent, however, to go through the court where a judge or magistrate is available to answer any legal questions the birth parent may have before the papers are signed.
