What do I need to find out from the obstetrician treating the birthmother?

Jennifer Perry (Executive Director, Children's Action Network) gives expert video advice on: Do adoptive parents cover any of the birthmother's expenses?; What is "baby-buying"?; Should I be concerned about which hospital the birthmother chooses? and more...

If you can, from the obstetrician that is treating the birthmother, you should get a sense of what fees he or she charges, their insurance, which hospital the baby will be delivered at, and what the policies of the hospital are governing adoptions, if you can find that out. They're important to know because you'll want to know that you can meet the fees, that it's an obstetrician who has insurance and is covered by the right processes, and it's a hospital that you'll be comfortable with and they have policies that will make you comfortable with having your adoption take place there.
