Our placement (11 at the time, now 15) required out-of-home placement (hospitalization followed by residential for 17 months, stepped down into therapeutic foster care and then back up to group home) will not be returning home. Placement into the foster care system was made voluntarily (a state adoption from foster care originallY) with an order for child support. Can you tell me what the standard practice is for this ... while we expect to pay something (including reversal back to the state of the adoption assistance payment which we were renewed for as long as we hold legal rights ... state has "care and custody") we don't feel we should take a bath for this child?
Thanks!
