While you were still pregnant you may have been labeled a “birth mother” ‘to put you into the mind set that your only role in the life of your baby was to give birth. You asked to see your baby and you were told no or you were told that you were not allowed to see your baby until you signed the surrender papers. You may have been told that it was best you did not see your baby.

You may have been given general anesthetic for the birth and kept under the anesthetic until your baby was removed for adoption. You may have been given mind altering drugs for several days after the birth in order to induce amnesia and your signature was obtained while under the influence of these mind altering drugs administered by the medical staff. You may have been given a lactations suppressant with out your consent.

The birth mother may have felt financially pressured to surrender your baby to adoption. You may have been told or led to believe that no assistance was available that would provide you with the financial support necessary to enable you to keep your baby. You may have been told shortly before or after the birth that if you change your mind you would be liable for paying the medical bills or other costs beyond your ability to pay. The hospital may have refused to release your baby to you unless you pay them a large sum of money beyond your ability to pay.
