Summary
Amends the Adoption Compensation Prohibition Act and the Adoption Act. Provides that the Act shall not be construed to prevent a prospective adoptive parent from giving gifts or other things of value to a biological parent if the total value does not exceed $200. Provides that a prospective adoptive parent may advance a maximum of $1,000 for reasonable attorney's fees of the biological parent in connection with proceedings under the Act or in connection with proceedings for the adoption of the child. Provides that a prospective adoptive parent may advance a maximum of $1,000 for reasonable birth parent living expenses without prior order of court. Provides that the prospective adoptive parents shall present a final accounting of all those attorney's fees to the court before the entry of a final judgment order for adoption. Provides that if the court finds an accounting by the prospective adoptive parents to be incomplete or deceptive or to contain unauthorized or unreasonable amounts, the court may order a new accounting or the repayment of amounts found to be excessive or unauthorized or make any other appropriate orders. Provides that a prospective adoptive parent may seek reimbursement of reasonable living expenses from a person who receives such payments only if the person who accepts payment of reasonable living expenses before the child's birth knows that the person on whose behalf he or she is accepting payment is not pregnant at the time of the receipt of such payments or the person receives reimbursement for reasonable living expenses simultaneously from more than one prospective adoptive parent without the knowledge of the prospective adoptive parent. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
