[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487755, member: 1550"] Well, once the child is not given to the prospective adoptive parent, the child is not theirs and if anything happened to sperm donor that would leave the child without him, the child would first be offered to birthmother and if she couldn't raise her, child would either go to a family member or into the foster care system. It's screwy, but our child custody laws take the parents into account far more than the child. Nancy, in Illinois we were allowed to take Jumper home straight from the hospital. They don't allow that in Wisconsin, where I live now. Every state is different regarding how soon the prospective adoptive parents can have take the child home. However, we did not have guardianship of her for four days. birthmother had to go to court to sign her rights away. Then she had severed her rights forever (in Illinois you can't go back once you sign. Since this applies to both birthmother AND birthfather's signature, if you get both to sign before the child is born, you are pretty much home free). [/QUOTE]
