Let me throw this out there...
What happens when the aparents agree to pay the medical expenses, they get the baby, and still dont pay for the medical expenses?
That is what happened to me...
J's aparents agreed to pay for the medical expenses and never did even after getting J. They never even bothered to tell me that they didnt pay them. How I found out was about 10 months after J was born I stepped on a fish hook and it embedded in my foot. So I went to the ER (of the same hospital I gave birth to J at) and they refused to see me because I had an outstanding balance of over $5,000 with the hospital. The only way they would treat me was for me to agree right then and there to make payment arrangements on that balance. I paid every penny of that bill, they did not even pay a dime. Then about 6 months later when I went to buy my first car I was denied credit because the unpaid hospital bill was showing up on my credit!
So it is not always the aparents that get shafted...it is just as likely to happen to the bmom as well. Although maybe not so much so in todays time.
