What kinds of support can an adoptive parent expect?
Except for parents in our Infant-in-Care Program, the adoptive family will receive a monthly stipend (if the child is determined by DYFS to be in need of a stipend) and Medicaid coverage for the child, up to the age of 18. Comprehensive adoption counseling services are available without cost to the adoptive family through the Post-Adoption Counseling Services (PACS) program in Bergen, Essex and Passaic Counties.
