We are currently in the home-study phase of the waiting child adoption program. We were told at the beginning in Colorado, that all children adopted through the waiting child program will be on Medicaid until age 18and that most children, unless infants, will qualify for some type of monthly subsidy. We were just advised this week, that due to state budget cuts, kids will no longer receive Medicaid benefits and most counties are doing away with subsidies. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I was counting on the financial assistance to be able to afford a child. Due to high insurance premiums and daycare costs, I'm not sure if I can still go through with an adoption, especially with a special needs kid. Anyone have any suggestions.
