Free,
I LOVE that you discussed all of the hospital issues PRIOR to the hospital stay. I think that's advice that all expectant parents considering adoption AS WELL AS potential adoptive parents should follow. I can only imagine it would make things run much more smoothly than they did in our case.
heh.

Personally, we have a "morally binding" (as MrsSmith put it in the adoptive parent poll discussion) agreement. It's not enforceable in our state but we agreed to contact, etc, and all personal information was included (addresses of other people who should be able to get in contact with us should the other move, etc). We weren't very specific in ours as we knew that things change now and then. We get busy and so on.
