There is no cost to put your child up for adoption, as it is a free process. Typically when you decide you want to place your child up for adoption, you will be connected with an attorney or agency who will assist you in finding adoptive parents. These service providers work at no cost to the birth mother, and will typically cover all costs associated with the pregnancy and birth. In the event that the birth mother does not have insurance or coverage for medical care or living expenses during the pregnancy, these costs are usually covered by the adoptive family or by grants from other organizations. Many families have a fund set up specifically for this purpose and are happy to use it to provide for a woman's needs during her pregnancy.
