Subchapter I. Minors
§ 928. Contributions and fees.

(a) No biological parent of any child whose adoption is proposed shall receive any contribution, fee, subsidy or emolument of any sort from any person or organization having any connection or association with the placement of the child for adoption or with the adoption.
(b) No person or organization who is in any way connected with an adoption shall receive any remuneration in connection therewith, except for court costs and legal services; provided, however, that the Department, licensed agency or authorized agency may charge a service fee for each adoption in an amount not exceeding the cost of services rendered, to be paid by the adopting parent or parents. The amount of any such fee shall be made a part of the petition as provided in § 906(10) of this title.
(c) The Department, in its discretion in accordance with federal law and the regulations and interpretations thereof, may award subsidy moneys to the adoptive parent of a child who was in Department custody prior to the adoption petition being filed. The amount and duration of the subsidy shall be in the sole discretion of the Department.
