Re: birth mother wanting adoption
The allowance of living expenses which could
also be classified as confinement expenses
is generally within the sound discretion of
the Court handling the adoption. The
purpose of the prohibition is to prevent
the sale of babies. Inquiry could be made
beforehand of the Court which is scheduled to
finalize the adoption to determine whether
such expenses would be allowed. This could be done by
Petition.
