Adoptive Parents Wisconsin statutes set three different sets of standards regarding payment by adoptive parents or prospective adoptive parents related to completing an adoption.
Allowable payments vary according to the type of adoption.
Felony provisions apply to payments outside of allowable standards for most adoptions. One standard applies when the adoption occurs as an agency placement or an independent adoption. Post adoptive counseling for a birth parent of the child or an alleged or presumed father of the child. Maternity clothes for the child's birth mother, not to exceed a reasonable amount. Local transportation expenses of a birth parent of the child that are related to the pregnancy or adoption.
