I would assume the 48-hour period following birth is the time period that must elapse before a mother is even allowed to sign the consent forms...unless Texas has suddenly enacted some dragonian laws. It doesn't mean that she has to sign those forms during the first 48 hours or else forget placing at all.

Oh thank you Raven!
I knew there was another quote that left me REALLY miffed.
Talk about misleading!
