Will it cost me to put a baby up for adoption in New York?
No!!
Placing your baby for adoption through Heart to Heart Adoptions is completely free. We understand that you’re facing a difficult decision, and we want to make sure you have all the support you need without worrying about costs.
New York and all states don’t allow the trading of money for a child. This would be baby selling. But we are happy to help you with pregnancy-related expenses. These expenses can include:
- Housing assistance or rent support
- Medical care throughout your pregnancy and delivery
- Maternity clothes
- Food and groceries
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Help with phone and utility bills
- Childcare for your other children
- Professional counseling services
Can I get paid to place my baby for adoption?

No!!
It’s important to know that in New York, as in all states, it’s illegal to receive payment specifically for placing a baby for adoption. Any adoptive family or agency offering direct payment would be breaking the law. However, receiving support for pregnancy-related expenses is both legal and common. We listed above in the bullet point list some of the help you can receive.
The Heart to Heart Agency provides all the legal assistance and properly documents all this assistance for birth mothers. We work within New York state laws to ensure everything is handled correctly.
Our Free Services Include:
- Pregnancy counseling
- Adoption planning support
- Help finding and choosing the right adoptive family
- Case management throughout your pregnancy
- Post-placement counseling and support
- Legal representation – we’ll connect you with an experienced adoption attorney at no cost to you
