	RGD says more fathers adding names to child's birth record - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		One reason may be that the father was not present at the time the child was being registered as the law prohibits the father's name being put on the birth record without his consent.
		However, the father's name is automatically added to a child's registration when the parents are married and when a father who is not married to the mother, appears at the time of registration and completes the form with his particulars and accepts paternity.
		She said, too, that there were also cases where the child is for a married man, and he does not desire to include his particulars on the birth certificate and in this case the mother agrees because she does not want to embarrass him.

	Your Child's Birth History - Biological, Birth, Birthparents, Child, Children, Family, Forever, Help
		Every child, whether biological or adopted, eventually asks, “Where did I come from?” To help establish themselves in the present and cement their sense of self (and their self-esteem), children need a sense of their history – even if that history isn’t storybook perfect.
		The fact that a child is placed for international adoption typically means that there is a “negative” in the child’s pre-placement history such as extreme poverty, the death of biological parents, or abandonment.
		Emphasize that your child was placed for adoption because his birth parents were not able to parent him at that time.

	Child birth
		If this is a first child, you will have time to transport unless the mother's vagina is bulging and you can see the crown of the baby's head in the birth canal.
		Multiple births generally present no problems, and twins are delivered in the same manner as single babies, one after another.
		Even if the mother is unaware of the fact, you may suspect a multiple birth if the abdomen is still very large after one baby is delivered; there are more strong uterine contractions, and the baby's size is out of proportion to the mother's abdomen.

	Childbirth classes
		If you plan to give birth without an epidural, for example, you'll want to be sure to find an instructor who spends a lot of time exploring all of the different natural methods of pain management.

		Birth centers often offer their own classes, which are geared toward that particular birth experience.
