California law permits adopting parents to pay pregnancy related medical costs for a birth mother and her reasonable living costs during her time of confinement.
It's an old-fashioned term (19th century, early 20th) when women would stop going out in public when they began to show in earnest and couldn't wear corsets anymore...before the invention of the brassier.
Yes...but given the fact that the mother is giving up almost a year of her life (no drinking, smoking, coffee, medications) to carry someone else's kid, it's not really THAT weird.
That's not what I mean silly. I don't mean the mother having a place to live or something. I'm just saying "confinement" is a weird way to put it. It sounds like she's confined like in prison or something. Or like at a zoo the tigers are in a confinement. Do you get what I mean?
If you're dealing with confinement to a jail cell, or your classroom, or the broom closet, you're stuck there and you can't leave. Confinement means you're being held and you can't move freely.
I'm not saying that is what they are doing. To me, it's just a strange way to word it and it stands out when someone in a pizzagate forum points this agency out.

Confinement is a strange thing to say.
