I hope someone can help me! My dh and I have been matched for 2 children ages 6 and 8 in Texas. We live in Mississippi. My daughter has a dx of PTSD and was hospitalized once recently for seven days for a serious tantrum and was diagnosed as being bi-polar. Our son has been dx with ADHD. I am a legal secretary, but would like to drop to part-time as I feel I would need to be home with them when they get out of school. My husband and I rely on both of our incomes. My children our Title IV-E eligible. How will I go about negotiating our subsidy and finding out what else we may be qualified for. Is there a way I can find out what the fostercare rate is for these children. I am not sure if the children's worker will give me that information. Any help you can give me will be appreciated.
