What Financial Help Is Available?
Every state has its own laws about what financial support is allowed during the adoption process, but generally, adoption agencies can help cover things like:
- Rent or housing assistance
- Utilities (electric, water, phone, internet)
- Food and groceries
- Maternity clothing
- Transportation
- Childcare (if you’re already parenting)
- Personal care and hygiene items
Choosing adoption does not mean facing pregnancy alone — there are resources available to support you through this time. As a birth mother, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover your essential living expenses during pregnancy and recovery.
Our agency works with you to understand your situation and ensure you’re receiving all the financial help allowed by law in your state.
Living Expenses Covered During Pregnancy
Through adoption, you may be eligible to receive living expenses that ease your burden and help you focus on your health and well-being.
Covered expenses may include:
- Housing Costs: We can help with rent payments or help you find safe, stable housing during your pregnancy.
- Food and Nutrition: Assistance for food and nutrition to help you stay healthy.
- Transportation: Gas money, Ubers, or help with getting to doctor’s appointments and errands.
- Maternity Needs: Maternity clothes, prenatal vitamins, and other essentials.
- Utilities: Coverage for bills like electricity, water, phone, and internet while you’re unable to work or need extra support.
All support is arranged legally and ethically through the adoption process, and you’re never obligated to move forward with adoption just because you received help.
Medical and Legal Support
As a birth mother, all medical and legal services related to the adoption are 100% free to you.
Medical Care
You’ll receive full prenatal care, hospital delivery services, and any postpartum care needed. If you don’t already have a doctor or insurance, we can help you get set up with medical providers right away.
Legal Support
Adoption involves important legal steps, and if needed you can have your own legal representation to explain your rights and guide you through the process.
All legal fees are covered by the adoption process. You will not owe anything, and you will have full control over your choices.
