Adoption Agencies are not supposed to pay for children. However there are still "legal" ways, to provide incentives. There are also affiliates, and other ways, to provide payment. Depending on how it's organized, I've been told, the going rate is 10K per child; but I've read articles, that have given much larger numbers. Double, Triple, and up to $120K. Former FBI Chris Voss, talks about kidnapping being profitable. Laundering children through adoption, might be a "higher class" form or derivative, of this phenomenon.
Not everything is black and white, from the human perspective, regarding the mother. Instead it's a spectrum, and a compilation of history, experience, education, income, and influences. I believe it's easy to have emotions and opinions about this. However, unless we walk in the woman's shoes, and live in her heart, then we do not know.
Unless the mother is Cluster B, then I vote spectrum, and seemingly impossible circumstances. When you study health vs dysfunction, you see clusters, in both. Healthy people have healthy thinking, access to resources, and support. If something happened, and a woman does not know how to overcome it, and she does not have proper support, nor resources, she may not know, what she has available to her. If it's compounded, and she feels desperate, she may be pressured, to make a decision, that is against her best interest, as a reflection, of the deep conflict she is feeling.
I'm writing about one woman I knew. I do not know others, in this area, as the family that raised me, is wealthy, with seeming infinite resources.
I feel, like influences, are a profound factor. Surround yourself with good people, and you'll see, better results.
Regarding the Adoption Agencies, they know what they're doing, and do it anyways. I would like to see greater due diligence, and safe guards, in this area, as well as more public awareness. I wish, that they would behave in profitable ways, that are also ETHICAL.
