I'm sure you can find whatever kind of couple you're looking for. I know we had a lesbian couple here some time ago asking if expecting moms would consider a lesbian couple.
As far as expenses, I don't really know, it gets tricky I think. Payment for a child is not supposed to happen, and paying for rent and insurance and so on can be construed as such.
Another issue with this, is that there is no 100% guarentee that a mother will relinquish, and a lot of potential adoptive parents have put forth financial help and then the mother has changed her mind (as she has the right to do) which can cause big big problems.
I know that 24 years ago when I relinquished there was an agency that would help with medical costs and housing and so on BUT, it was as you said, they provided the housing (I actually think they put you up with PAP, not the ones getting your child, but so that both parties could get more understanding of the 'other side').
It's tricky with financial stuff as there are people who try to work the system on both sides...
This is a super tough time for you! There are no easy decisions or easy ways out. I'm sorry that I can't give you more specific advice. Hopefully some other ladies here can.
I wish you all the best, please let us know how things are going for you.
