Casandra, that's horrible what happened to you. Did you place J thru an agency or was it an independent adoption thru an attorney? Either way, wasn't there any recourse available? Did you call the agency or the APs' attorney??

My own opinion is that the birthmom's medical expenses should always be picked up by the agency or APs. I don't even personally believe that Medicaid should be responsible in an adoption case. If those expenses for prenatal care and delivery weren't incurred, then there wouldn't be a baby at all, would there? Why should the taxpayer have to pay for a baby who's going into an adoptive home, ostensibly with parents who have met certain financial requirements in their adoption application?
