LEGAL UPDATE!! As of July 5th, NY’s law on reimbursement of birth mother expenses in adoptions is receiving a long over due update! The time period during which a birth mother’s expenses can be paid by the adoptive parents is being expanded to cover the period from 6 months before the delivery until the later of 45 days after the delivery or the ex*****on of the adoption consent paperwork by the birth mother. Reimbursable expenses include housing, maternity clothing and transportation. The new law also makes it easier to request that the Court extend that time period based on the needs of the birth mother.

Birth mothers also continue to be entitled to reimbursement for all medical expenses during the pregnancy/delivery, legal fees, counseling and medical expenses for the baby.
