Dad,

In Ohio, for example, when a Mother takes her child to one of the Safe Haven places, she is given a packet. In the packet it sort of thanks her for thinking of the best interest of her child, explains that adoption is a permanent resolution, encourages her to mull that over in a twenty-four hour period and then STRONGLY (without saying, HEY! DO THIS!) encourages her to fill out her medical history and attach a note if she so desires. If she does fill out the medical history, she can bring it back whenever she finishes or so desires. Ohio is really working on trying to negate what you were just talking about.

I would like to hope that all states are.
