How much does fostering or adoption cost?
CHFS does not charge for its services. Foster parents are reimbursed for the cost of caring for a child placed with them. CHFS is also responsible for the foster child’s medical expenses. More assistance may be available for children with special needs, depending on the severity of their needs. Adoptive families may qualify for financial assistance for finalizing the adoption in court and to meet the child’s ongoing special needs.
