Since the baby is coming from NC we have chosen to go by their laws, which are:
Once the baby is born and the birthmother signs consent (giving us physical custody) she has 7 days to change her mind for any reason whatsoever, and we must give her back :( HOWEVER, after those 7 days have expired, then that's it...she's ours. There is no legal recourse for the BM at that point.
The part that takes a while "finalization" has nothing to do with the BM. That is NC deeming we are fit parents. We will have about 2 visits from social workers to make sure everything is ok, if so they tell the courts and then the courts say she's ours. I believe that is around 60 days.
We have to stay in NC for upto 2 weeks after her birth, so pretty much when we come home the waiting, wondering and worrying are all over!! I honestly can't believe that moment is not that far away. 5 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
