That is wonderful.   I'm sure the 5-day wait cuts down on litigation later, but it always boggles my mind that adoption is so rarely done these days.  There is SO much pressure on a young woman to "keep her baby" like she's sub-human if she doesn't.  It's just plain wrong.  I applauded the movie "Juno" when it came out for that very reason.  This young mother should be commended for being so unselfish.  Congratulations and best wishes to your friends!!
