California Penal Code section 273 deals with a parent receiving any financial value in exchange for placing a child up for adoption. This can be used in a number of contexts and I don't think we should get into the details of that online.
PC 273 is a misdemeanor in California and it is punishable by imprisonment in county jail not to exceed 1 year or a fine up to $2,500. This is the maximum penalty, however. Chances are any attorney you retain will negotiate for a plea deal with the prosecuting agency.
If you would like to discuss your case any further, please feel free to contact me at law@solomonchang.com or by visiting my website at www.SolomonChang.com

Answered on: 3/04/09, 10:07 pm by Lyle JohnsonRe: (m)pc273a(b) It appears that the other attorneys may have misread your question. A copy of the penal code section is copied below. The code section you state has to do with child endangerment. A conviction the this section can have long term consequences. Retain an attorney immediately.
PEN §273a. (b) Any person who, under circumstances or conditions other than those likely to produce great bodily harm or death, willfully causes or permits any child to suffer, or inflicts thereon unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, or having the care or custody of any child, willfully causes or permits the person or health of that child to be injured, or willfully causes or permits that child to be placed in a situation where his or her person or health may be endangered, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
