Are there subsidies available for adoptive families?
Yes, any family adopting a special needs child in Connecticut may be eligible to receive a medical and/or financial subsidy for their child. Children who have special needs include children with physical, intellectual or emotional disabilities, sibling groups, older children, children with complex medical needs and children of color of all ages. The Department also has a College Assistance Program that contributes to the cost of college tuition for all children adopted from DCFs legal custody after January 1, 2005 who attend an accredited college, university, or post secondary program.
