What is the Child Watch Visitation Program? What is the Child Watch Visitation Program?
North Carolina has the lowest adoption subsidy (aid for adoptive families with specialneeds children), in the country.Low-income foster families should not be the first choice to adopt foster children intheir homes.Children should be in foster care for less than a year before a plan for a permanenthome is implemented.Because of the significant numbers of minority children in foster care awaiting families,I support the idea of more minority social workers in foster care and adoption.Children with special needs, such as mental retardation and severe asthma, should nothave their medical bills covered by the state after they are placed with an adoptivefamily.Television programs like "Wednesday's Child" and newspaper articles on childrenwaiting for adoption are important in finding families for children.I could effectively care for a child with special needs on $200 per month.Medicaid covers the costs related to special needs for adopted children and is acceptedby most professionals.I am knowledgeable of the Friends of Black Children program.A special needs child can be a healthy child.Please feel free to use the bottom or back of this page for comments and questions.Thank you for sharing.78
