I don't think you have any say over baptizing the baby. Unless and/or until TPR happens, baby's mom is the only one who can make that decision. Most Catholics place a huge amount of importance on the sacrament of baptism for infants. In fact, many Catholic birthmothers from the "closed era" of adoptions first had their babies baptized before signing the relinquishment papers.
As far as the ear piercing goes, is the child hispanic? A lot of Latinos have their infants' ears pierced. I think there's a good chance, though, that the SW can talk her out of it for now.
