What Does it Cost to Place a Baby in Georgia?
There is NO cost for placing a baby in Georgia.
If you are considering placing a baby in Georgia, you need to understand that it does not cost to place a baby in Georgia. Also, as is the case in all states, a birth mother cannot “get paid” for placing a baby for adoption. This would appear similar to baby selling. This is considered illegal in Georgia (and every state).
Potential adoptive parents who offer money or any compensation to a birth mother in exchange for her decision to place her child for adoption are acting outside the law.
Additionally, if a birth mother were to request direct financial compensation from potential adoptive parents, she would also be outside the law.
