You cannot just place your name and your husband's name on the birth certificate, no hospital would fall for that.<a href="http://www.medicalsupplyservices.com/emergency-medical-equipment.htm"> KTea</a> She must sign over her parental rights and you need to do that legally through an adoption process.

She can let you and your husband raise her child without actually surrendering but she will still be the legal mother. However you and your husband can't legally be named as the parents because you're not but I cannot see how you would be able to get away with it anyway. Not only is it illegal but it'd highly immoral as you would be putting false information on a document. Then there is the matter of living a lie as baby would grow up believing you and your husband are his/her parents when you're not. You want to do this then do it legally so the child grows up knowing the truth.<a href="http://www.doggydisease.com/picture-of-dog-skin-disease.htm"> Pip</a> If you really don’t know the answer to this then I am extremely shocked.

Good Luck either way :)s PS A hospital has to comply with hipaa laws and this would be a violation to hipaa<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/management/managing.htm"> nicole_y_mousey</a> It is not legal to do it this way, however it wont be hard to adopt the baby im pretty sure just a signiture and maybe a background check depending on what state your in plus is best to have custody for other reasons such as doctor appointments, and school and all of that fun stuff it would be better to care for the baby.

The first answer was completely correct. You could be the legal guardian of the child, but then your sister would always have the right to reclaim her child. That could be a heartbreaking situation for you and your husband. It's best to go through with adoption, for the security of all parties. If it would give your sister more security to know that she would always be involved, try an open adoption. it is not as hard as it seems since you would only need a lawyer to draw up the papers and your sister to sign- keeping it completely out of court. Maybe she would be more willing if you covered the legal fees?<a href="http://www.jewelrymakingidea.com/free-pattern-for-jewely-making.htm"> truthseeker</a> It is illegal in most if not all states.

This whole question just reeks of Troll. If you're serious (and I pray you're not), you should help your sister so that she can parent her own child. If she is troubled -- obviously she is if she doesn't want her baby -- get her some professional help. Putting other people's names on a birth certificate IS illegal. A birth certificate is a legal document. Don't f*** with the law. That baby has a right to know who his/her natural parents are...and will hopefully be raised by one or both of them. HELP your sister, don't take away her child.<a href="http://www.healthstorebargains.com/srch/srch.php?q=shave"> aloha.girl59</a> I think it’ll be pretty obvious that you weren’t the person who gave birth.

You could get very attached to the baby and then she could take it back. Do it legally. Consult a lawyer. No hospital will put you on the birth cert. as bio parents. No way. Something is very fishy about this deal. I wouldn't trust her.<a href="http://www.jewelrymakingidea.com/jewelry-making-idea.htm"> notyou311</a> That does not sound legal at all.

She needs to talk to her hospital, doctor or midwife. State social services could also help. You want to do it the right legal way, so that you don't have problems down the road, like being arrested for kidnapping or identity theft.
