Wow, I guess I never thought that a birthmom would invite an adoptive parent into the delivery room.
I had read on some other forums that some birthparents and adoptees think it is inappropriate for the adoptive parents to even be at the hospital. This made me sad because I was hoping to have a good relationship with the birthparents if at all possible and could at least be present shortly after the birth. Please tell me that all birthparents don't think it is "creepy" (one word used on the other forum) for adoptive parents to be around so soon after the birth?
But to actually get back to topic, I am fairly sqeemish about blood and whatnot, so if I were lucky enough to be invited into the delivery room then I would go in and deal with it. It would be amazing to be present when the baby was actually born. I would probably stay close to the birthmother and hold her hand or something and not look so much at the blood and what all was going on during the labor. I *think* that I would be okay looking at the baby even if it were covered in blood once it was delivered. I guess you never really know until you are in the situation though.
