I think that way it can keep it a little impersonal untill the papers are actually signed. because untill then the prospective bmom can still change her mind and keep the baby. being a birth mother my self i can see the side of recieveing the finacial help. i think part of the cost of adoption should be used to assist thoes bmothers in need of additional help, but that the money is given to the agency to disperse to the ones who need it.

I thought the same thing when I saw a recent Dateline with several adopting couples who had been "scammed" by the same expectant mother. I also wondered how ethical it was for THEM to offer her cash & assistance, and of course they all then felt "entitled" to that baby. There should be ways to supply the needs of moms in crisis pregnancy, without it coming directly from anyone who would have an interest in if they place that child for adoption or not.<br /> My husband and I adopted three children (as newborns) non-agency and we paid no type of assistance to any of the birth mothers, but then they had not needed any. <br /> I think that is a great idea.
