Carmen,
I know we have to be concerned about the feling of grieving parents but I
would feel a little concerned about dressing up a fixed fetus, on the grounds
of health and safety as well as the aesthetic look of a fetus after
fixation.
When I worked in a maternity hospital in the UK, parents who lost babies and
fetuses didn't have to ask whether they could have a photo or not, a polaroid
was routinely taken by the nursing/midwifery staff along with a foot-print
which was placed onto a small piece of card with the babies name on it. They
were offered the photo and print if they wanted it.
Regards,
Glyn Woodward
