(1) Reasonable adoption fees may be paid by the adoptive parent for the actual cost of services. The cost of services must relate to:
(a) a petition for adoption;
(b) placement of a child;
(c) medical care or services, including cost-sharing amounts for medically necessary prenatal and postnatal outpatient mental health services;
(d) prenatal care;
(e) foster care;
(f) a preplacement evaluation;
(g) counseling related to providing information necessary to make an informed decision to voluntarily relinquish a child;
(h) travel or temporary living costs for the birth mother;
(i) legal fees incurred for services on behalf of the placing parent;
(j) the reasonable costs incurred by a placing parent in a direct parental placement adoption to document the disclosures of medical and social history required by 42-3-101; and
(k) other reasonable costs related to adoption that do not include education, vehicles, salary or wages, vacations, or permanent housing for the birth parent.
(2) A birth parent or a provider of a service listed in subsection (1) may receive or accept a payment authorized by subsection (1). The payment may not be made contingent on the placement of a child for adoption or upon relinquishment of and consent to adoption of the child. If the adoption is not completed, a person who is authorized by subsection (1) to make a specific payment is not liable for that payment unless the person has agreed in a signed writing with a birth parent or a provider of a service to make the payment regardless of the outcome of the proceeding for adoption.
