Belle, I totally agree with you...it is a form of coercion in my mind. That used to be a very common tactic used by adoption agencies during the Baby Scoop Era to coerce young mothers into signing the relinquishment papers. Many of us back in those days were warehoused in maternity homes. If we didn't want to sign the surrender papers after our babies were born, we were often told that we would have to pay thousands of dollars to the maternity home and agency before we could take our babies home. Needless to say, most young moms ended up signing those relinquishment papers. (I think Rylee experienced this. Hopefully she'll see this thread and comment.)
