OK, I was misunderstanding. I thought you meant the actual expenses for the birth would not be covered under Medicaid, not just the baby. Unless something goes wrong with the baby (and yes, this is coming from someone who had a $60,000 NICU bill on one of my bio daughters, and was threatened with collections until insurance co got its act together), the baby's bill shouldn't be a whole lot. The baby wouldn't stay in the hospital the whole time until TPR is signed, wouldn't he go into cradle care if you or the bmom doesn't take him home?

I can kind of see why Medicaid wouldn't want to cover a baby that is being placed. In those states where this is happening, lawmakers need to know so they can mandate that insurance companies consider "placement" to be the date of birth. This is what was done in our case. If we do get any bills for C's care in the hospital, our insurance should pick it up.

I'm sorry for what you have been through.
