Do birth mothers get financial assisstance in adoption?
No, it’s illegal to pay a woman for her children. If you’re talking about unethical practice of pre-birth matching, then yes, sometimes her medical and other bills will be paid by the PAP’s (or the agency, who will then charge the PAP’s for the costs, with mark-up). I wouldn’t recommend using this route because it’s coercive to the mother, who could then feel as though she’s obligated to part with her baby because she “owes” something.
