POST-TOUR ADOPTION OPINION POLLNow that you have been on an adoprion rour and have seen personally what some of rheimponant issues are, we'd like to ask you ro rake afew'minures andfill ourrhisform.Please answer T (true/agree), I (false/disagree), or U (undecided, unknown).I have a better idea of foster care and adoption issues as a result of this tour.Adoption with subsidy seems like a more cost-effective plan than keeping a child instate care.Medicaid and family insurance plans would cover almost all of the expenses of a childwith special needs in an adoptive family.More children with special needs would be adopted if financial assistance and otherservices were improved.Active recruitment efforts and eligibility requirements which emphasize parentingstrengths rather than income or size of home are important in locating families forchildren with special needs.North Car9lina should move it's position from the bottom of the fifty states in regard toadoption subsidy.More minority workers in foster care and adoption are needed because of thesignificant numbers of minority children in care.I could effectively raise a child with special needs on $200 per month.Foster families are community activists and child advocates who receive minimalcompensation the cover child caring expenses.Children should be in temporary state care for no more that a year before a plan for apermanent home is implemented.Children with special needs should continue to receive assistance from the state forcosts related to those needs after adoption.I feel that I am more informed now as an advocate for children.I am a business person or county official and will consider contributing to or helping tostart a "Friends of Black Children" chapter in my county.I am a business person and will consider involving employees of associates in adoptionrelated activities.I am a business person, and will think about company benefits related to adoption.121
