What is Adoption Assistance?
Adoption assistance is provided for children with special needs to enable a family to meet the child’s special needs. This includes a monthly subsidy payment, money for speech therapy, tutoring, developmental daycare or other services which would enable a special needs child reach their full potential and overcome their special needs. This subsidy also assists with the legal fees to complete an adoption. Medicaid also continues until the child is 18. Only children who have been in the custody of CCDSS or private agency are eligible for adoption assistance.
