I definately think it should be presented as an option, but certainly not mandated. I wish I had had the chance to spend two or three days after the hospital with my birthdaughter and her adoptive family. (In my ideal world, we would have all stayed in a hotel with adjoining rooms for a couple of days.) I would not have wanted to take P home and be her primary caregiver for any amount of time, though. I know (and knew then) that adoption was the right choice for both of us and although I spent a lot of time holding and caring for her, I did not change her or bathe her or anything like that. Taking care of her made it harder for me to let go.
