Hi! F23 here, my boyfriend and I have made the decision to put our baby up for adoption. I am currently 34 weeks along and we have already chosen a family. We chose them right before this whole thing started, and for the most part, we've been speaking weekly over zoom, and we've met in person once (keeping with social distancing protocols) It's been weird because we cant do any of the things people would normally be doing at this point (touring hospitals, baby shower, just hanging out with the prospective parents, etc.) I have full faith that these guys are going to be the best parents for my baby, but with this indefinite quarantine, I'm worried about how things will go in the hospital and after. I've heard that in some places they've separated mom and baby after birth to make sure neither is sick, but I really want to see my baby before they take her home because IDK how long it will be until I can see her in person again. Also, with open adoption I know it's really up to the adoptive parents how often I see her, but if we have visitations written into our agreement, they have to abide by that, right? (I want to see her on major holidays and her birthday at least, I'm cool with videocalls if they go out of town to be with family or whatever) Also, am I allowed to breastfeed while we're still in the hospital? I just want to have that experience with my baby. Sorry for all the ranting and weird questions, it's just that this is my first baby and I just want to make sure I cover all my bases.

Update: we talked with the adoptive parents today about our fears and they think Its awesome that I want to breastfeed and they suggested that even after we leave the hospital maybe I could continue pumping for them since breastmilk is so healthy for baby, plus with the pandemic, getting formula can be tough. That makes me wayy less worried about them possibly cutting contact.
