What is the name of your state?Indiana
We are three weeks away from the birth of a baby boy we are adopting.We have adopted twice before,interstate adoptions of special needs,but feel fairly confident with adoption jargon.We are working with an attorney(ours)and the birth mother has also utilized him for all the paperwork also.We have had signed as many of the consents allowable at this point--but this week our birth mom started calling our attorney office asking about how we deal with the living expenses due her.We had never discussed any king of living expense arrangement,and I've talked to her since january.We have awarded guardianship of the child until we apply for and obtain the parent status upon finilization.I just need to know what,if any,birth mom living expenses are in my state andis there a point when it's too bad the birth mom didn't speak up sooner?
