Section 388-27-0305. May an adoptive parent apply for adoption support services after the adoption has been finalized?

Latest version.

Federal and state laws and rules require that a prospective adoptive parent must apply for adoption assistance prior to adopting a special needs child and that the prospective adoptive parent must have a valid adoption support agreement, signed by all parties, before the adoption is finalized.

However, both state and federal governments have recognized that in some situations there may have been extenuating circumstances that prevented the child from being placed on the adoption support program prior to adoption. For these situations separate remedies have been created depending on which eligibility criteria are met by the child.
