How soon after the baby is born can I sign the adoption papers?
Birthparents can sign adoption consents no sooner than 72 hours after the baby’s birth. Catholic Charities will assist you in setting up an appointment at our office after the minimum 72-hour period. Once you have signed the adoption consent forms, you have 10 working days not including weekends and holidays in which to provide in writing a retraction of your consents.
