Suddenly her maternal instincts kick in, and she decides to adopt the child. But she encounters opposition when she tries to become the tot's legal guardian. State officials require Elizabeth to marry before they will let the baby live under her roof. In Dr. Corey McBain, she thinks she can arrange an in-name-only marriage that will pass muster with the adoption agency.
