Make certain you have signed, valid, adoption consents from both birthparents prior to leaving the hospital with your child.

This isn't always an option, as some states have laws that don't allow the signing of termination papers until months later. Please, educate yourself on the laws of the state where the baby is born, so you know exactly what to expect!
Adoptions can absolutely be fail-proof - research and know the law, talk to others, make sure the rights of EVERYONE involved are being represented, by their own attorney and keep the lines of communication open.
There is risk in everything you do - Adoption is no exception, but educating yourself and knowing the process greatly reduces the risk
Good luck!
