Subsidies - Agreements; type; amount; duration; limitation.

When parents are found and approved for adoption of a child certified as eligible for subsidy, and before the final decree of adoption is issued, there must be a written agreement between the State Department of Human Resources and the adopting family as to the terms and conditions of the subsidy. Adoption subsidies in individual cases may commence at any time after the adoption placement or at the appropriate time after the adoption decree, and will vary with the needs of the child as well as the availability of other resources to meet the child's needs. The subsidy may be for special services only, or for money payments, and either for a limited period, or for a long term, or for any combination of the foregoing. The amount of the time-limited or long-term subsidy may in no case exceed that which would be allowable from time to time for such child in foster care, or, in the case of special service, the reasonable fee for the service rendered.

(Acts 1979, No. 79-691, p. 1231, §5.)
