I am happy with paying expenses that someone would not be paying were they not pregnant, provided we can afford them - clearly they should not be linked to placement. If you lose your job because you're pregnant, or your job was ending but you cannot now find a new one because you are 4 weeks away from delivery, then that would not have happened had you not been pregnant.
The agency we are with advertises on their website that they offer counselling for all alternatives in an unplanned pregnancy but they do also advertise that expectant parents can get some expenses. But even if they didn't advertise, if an expectant parent has placed a child before (one of the situations we have been told about) or knows someone who has (e.g. another situation we were told about the expectant mother stated she'd heard about the agency from a friend who placed a baby through that agency), then the parent will know about the expenses.
I'm not sure what it gains to withhold information about legal expenses (where they are legal)? Though actually the agency doesn't say that some expenses aren't legal in some states, which could be confusing since of course expectant parents in other states will see the website.
Could anyone point us to a state-by-state list of allowed expenses/legislation, by the way?
