What is an adoption subsidy?
An adoption subsidy is a monthly payment made to help with the care and support of a child who is considered handicapped or hard-to-place. When working with your caseworker to complete the adoption subsidy agreement, you should be certain the adoption subsidy rate reflects the needs of the child. The adoption subsidy agreement must be signed and approved by all required parties prior to finalization of the adoption. Your caseworker can provide more detailed information regarding adoption subsidy.
