DFCS supports the premise that every child has the right to a permanent home. Adoption Assistance is designed as a supplemental financial benefit to assist families adopting an eligible child with special needs who would be unlikely to be adopted otherwise. The purpose of Adoption Assistance is to reduce financial barriers that may impede the special needs child's opportunity for adoption. Authorization of Adoption Assistance is based upon the needs of the child.
