Most states have some statutes that deal with expenses in adoption cases. So if they are applying adoption law to this maybe they will apply that part of the adoption law that covers birth mother expenses. Father better hope that birth mom had medical coverage of some sort.
Good point. It would depend on whether the adoption statute considers the medical expenses (and pain and suffering fees) a gift or a payment contingent on delivery of the child to the adoptive parents/payees. (I have no idea - never looked into it.)
As it stands, it’s not really an adoption case. It’s just an unmarried father and mother who don’t live together, and state law deals with thousands of them each year.
