Is it acceptable for birth parents to receive financial assistance?
Receiving financial assistance is often part of the adoption plan made between the birth family and adoptive family. The type of assistance available to birth families varies from state to state. Generally, birth mothers can accept assistance with reasonable living expenses like medical care, counseling, attorney fees, transportation and clothing for a reasonable period of time. Calling an adoption professional will let you know the facts for your state.
