What happens during the “final check for the abeyance process” before abeyance begins?
The final check is the last round of tests to make sure that abeyance is safe for the fetus. Procedures include a blood test, DNA test, and a few other scans. If any serious health problems become apparent during that final examination, abeyance is immediately cancelled and any prepayment refunded. While abeyance poses no risk to healthy fetuses, ailments like spina bifida and certain fetal alcohol spectrum disorders can pose additional risks and must be evaluated closely before abeyance can be considered.
