Hey! I'm hoping someone here knows this answer. Our son is AA/CC, adopted at 3 days old through a facilitator, from MO and we live in CA. I know that in Los Angeles County, being AA/CC is enough to qualify a child as "special needs." Is this true in all of CA? Or does the child have to be adopted through the foster care system? Basically, you get more back on taxes for a special needs adoption, and while I think it's awful that just being AA would be enough to make a child special needs, but practically speaking, we could use the extra money. Thanks!:hippie:

In CA, your son would be considered special needs on the basis of race ONLY if he were adopted from foster care from any state. The reasoning being that children of color are often harder to find homes for. It sounds like you did a private domestic adoption, so you would not qualify for the special needs adoption on your taxes.
