I totally agree that a birth mother should not be rushed into signing a surrender. I often have adoptive families wonder how much time a birth parent has to sign. The earliest they can sign is at seventy-two hours, but they can sign at any point after that -a week, a month, etc. When working with an agency, birth parents typically have their own social worker who would advise them of their options of signing at the seventy-two hour marker, placing the baby with couple(if both parties are open) until a decision is made, taking the baby home until she decides, or placing the baby in foster care until she decides.
