In some hospitals and health clinics in Indonesia, new born babies are being kept from their mothers when the parents can't pay the medical bills. Health workers call it a form of hostage that can break families apart, sometimes forcing them to sell their babies or place them up for adoption. US born midwife Robin Lim is offering a much-needed alternative at free health clinics in Bali and Aceh.

FSRN's Rebecca Henschke went to visit the clinic and files this report.
