It's a really good idea to have pbmom have her own attorney
First, like others said, become familiar with what the state law requires in the state where you hope to finalize the adoption (especially if it's a different state from where you live).
In our case, the birth mom had a guardian ad litem, who technically represents the unborn child's interests at the court hearing. She was offered her own attorney, but it was not mandatory for her to have one.
