We recently took an infant care class at Rose and I asked the nurse/instructor what typically happens in cases of adoption. Her response was that in most cases the birth mother and adoptive mother have worked that out before hand. Rose only issues 3 ID bracelets that give the wearers access to the nursery. In cases of adoption one goes to the baby, one goes to the birth mother and one goes to the adoptive mother. However, all this bracelet does is grant access to the nursery. If the birth mother says that you can spend time with the baby outside of that setting then it's okay. I've heard of some cases when the adoptive family has a room next to the birth family which allows for private time for everyone in the triad.
Hope this helps. I'm a little nervous too about the hospital experience.
