Each adoption situation is truly unique and each state has specific laws regarding financial assistance. In most cases, the adoptive family is allowed to cover the medical bills. If the birth mother has insurance or Medicaid, the adoptive family will pay for anything that is not covered. In some states, funds can be provided for the birth mothers living expenses, while in other states this is illegal. ABBA Adoption will explain the assistance that can be provided for your particular situation. Expenses are not the same as the agency fee and should always be considered risk monies in adoption.
