Stipends

I am pretty sure in my state there are no subsidy payments for non-sn kids adopted from FC. But all kids do receive Medicaid (until adulthood) and free tuition to state college (the tuition at state college is relatively cheap though,,,it's the board, books, fees, etc. that cost so much). My DH was shocked that we would get a monthly subsidy payment until we finalize any adoption from FC. He was like, "wait, they will pay US?!" It made me laugh. I was going to tell DCF we wouldn't take the subsidy, but heck, I feel the money could help any kid we foster until we adopt and it's really "theirs."
