I posted on here sometime back in regards to a child we wanted to adopt who was diagosed with Retnoblastoma during the first 7 months we had him as a foster child. They fought us 100%. It was about a year fight and in the end I found a man who actually sat on the Committee to write the laws for Ohio surrounding the 4-E. He was our saving grace as he let the agency know that they were misinterpreting the laws and even went as far as to threaten the agency if they did not do right by this child and us. To make a long story short we did get him 4-E eligible and got the subsidy and Medicaid card we asked for in the beginning. The Medicaid card was a must as his medical bills are huge and will be for life. He is now doing awsome as the cancer has not come back at this point and the longer he goes without it coming back the better chance he has of overcoming it. Even though he did loose one of his eyes he has great vision from the other and we are very grateful for the way things have turned out.
I pray for all the families out there fighting the system to get what they need for the children. It should not be a fight and the kids are the ones paying the high price.
Happy New Year to you all!
