Our first "almost" adoption was a nightmare. The nurses were so rude to us. I also believed one nurse in particular single handedly talked K into parenting. Soon after delivery we were able to hold the baby for a few minutes, but when it was shift change and when this nurse saw this she told us visiting hours were over (it was only 4pm) and made us leave the hospital. I found out later that she left the baby in the room against Ks wishes and refused to go back in (she had just started a double shift, so that was all evening and all night). The next morning we arrived to make preparations to leave the hospital and were escorted out of there like a couple of kidnappers. Our attorney said she had never seen anything like it.

Our hospital experience with N was great, but we were unable to attend the birth. We arrived the following day and T had already been released. Most of the nurses were great, 1 was a little cold but I think someone must have told her to clam it after she asked us if we really thought T would go through with it because she had been really upset when leaving the hospital (DUH! Who WOULDN'T be????). All in all it was a wonderful experience, it is important to note that particular hospital deals with adoptive and foster placements alot.
