Thanks, I was confused by your post "And if you truly want to help me, give me an addy and I will gladly share some of the bills I was stuck with."

Once again, it is obvious that every adoption situation is different. I honestly believe this is the first time I have read that a bioMother was stuck with the bills from the adoption. I know when my stepdaughter placed in an open adoption in the late 80's, welfare paid her medical bills and the potential aparents paid her and her older daughters living expenses during and immediately after the pregnancy. There have been many threads about the monetary expenses potential adoptive parents face, but I've never seen a thread about the monetary expenses potential bioparents face.
