I am also from the closed era. I was not allowed to see my dau. let alone touch/hold her. I was not even on the same floor of the hospital she was. I don't know about leaving the hospital with them. Wow, I really think that would be much too difficult as more of a bond would take place -esp. hard on the baby, they have feelings too.
I believe all mothers should be given the option of holding their child at least when in the hospital. I believe that counseling should be mandatory before placement and after. We have come a long way since 1963 but not nearly far enough. All of us need to be treated with dignity and respect.
