Financial Support for Birth Mothers

Most states allow adoptive families or adoption agencies to help birth mothers cover the cost of pregnancy. Many times adoption is free for you and adoptive families cover the costs. But, the details depend on what state you’re in. It’s important to know the laws of your state so you can make the most of financial support birth mothers.

Medical Financial Assistance

When you’re preparing to have a baby, the costs of doctor’s appointments and hospital stays can seem really overwhelming. Part of what we do at A Baby Step Adoption is to help you find assistance to cover medical costs, and help you register for Medicaid if you do not have insurance and meet the qualifications. We want to make sure that you are taken care of and feeling supported every step of the way, and we will make great efforts to ensure that happens!

Medicaid

While adoptive families can help you cover the cost of any care, you can also reduce your pregnancy-related medical expenses. Most birth mothers qualify for Medicaid and our caseworkers at A Baby Step Adoption can help you register. With Medicaid and other resources, you can reduce the cost of your healthcare both during your pregnancy and afterwards. Medicaid covers you throughout your pregnancy and up to 12 months after, so you can continue to get the care that you need.

Financial Support From Prospective Parents

Many of the loving, respectful prospective parents looking to adopt a child are eager to help you, as the birth mother, as much as they can. Prospective parents are able to provide financial support for:

• Legal, hospital, medical, and mental health fees
• Transportation costs relating to the pregnancy, such as assistance getting to medical appointments
• Reasonable expenses for clothes, food, and shelter

It is important to note that under no circumstances is it legal for prospective parents to offer money in exchange for the baby, or to influence your decision regarding prospective parents in any way. 

Help With Other Expenses

A healthy pregnancy is the most important part of a successful adoption. An adoption agency will help you have a safe pregnancy and a successful transition with an adoptive family. Because of that, adoption financial assistance isn’t limited to pregnancy medical expenses. Some agencies can help you pay for living expenses like rent, transportation, and more. If adoption financial assistance is important to you, make sure to ask about it with the agencies you’re talking to.

We can also help you find government assistance or other resources to cover pregnancy related expenses. Pennsylvania has an assistance program for pregnant women and New Jersey offers some counseling services and access to support groups and an agency can help you apply if you qualify.
