It’s against the law to give or receive money for placing a child for adoption. But certain fees and expenses are allowed, namely costs relating to the birth and adoption are allowed for various people involved in the adoption process, such as the birth mother, licensed adoption agencies and lawyers providing legal services. For example, the Adoption Regulation allows a prospective parent to pay the birth mother’s expenses for such things as medical services, the cost of reasonable accommodation, counselling services and the like. | It’s against the law to give or receive money for placing a child for adoption.
