When we had our kids—in a small country hospital that my mother in law worked for, mind you—we nevertheless had to prove our identity multiple times, and I (the father) was put through extra identity verification—including the go-ahead from my wife—because there are so many liability issues around making sure that the right parents get the right kids. One time we were literally the only couple—and our baby the only baby—on the entire maternity ward and we still had to go through the wristband/umbilical clamp verification process, which included our names.

Sovcit’s about to have a really fun time at a hospital.
