McAULIFFE, Judge.
This appeal involves the interpretation of § 5-327 of the Family Law Article, Maryland Code (1984), which prohibits certain payments in connection with adoption placement. Appellants, the adopting parents, question whether the trial judge was correct in ruling that § 5-327 prohibits payment by the adopting parents to the natural mother of the cost of maternity clothes. We hold the payment is prohibited by the statute.
