Share 'Home Birth NYC'

Hello!  My husband and I have just begun trying to conceive and, with that, started the process of researching our best birth.  I am passionate about having a home birth, but I've heard that since St. Vincent's has closed, having a home birth in NYC is illegal?!?  Someone tell me this isn't true, or, if it is, how to have a home birth anyway?Thanks so much, Sophie and Andrew
