I'm working my way through the full study and it's recommendations
on the birthparent blog. (That's the first installment. More coming.)
The full report is available here:

IMO, longer periods for revocation only further confirm that the birth parent does, in fact, want to place instead of the three day period that many are given which involves hospital stay, birthing and often times pain medication which can impair decision making. I haven't gotten to write about that just yet. I understand that adoptive parents may be opposed to such a thing but, in the long run, a more certain birth parent makes for a better adoption.
However, this study is what sparked the article featuring our family:
