Subsidy and attorney costs in Alabama adoption
Hi, we are close for finalizing on the adoption of our 2 girls 13 and 4. We live in Alabama and some things we are hearing now is not what we were told when attending classes to foster. We are fixing to sign some paperwork for our subsidy and for the adoption, we can only get subsidy for our 13 year old, she is the only one who can still recieve medicaid, and she is the only one that dhr will pay attorney fee and court costs for, because she is over 8. We were wondering is this was right for Alabama we were told at first that dhr would pay adoption costs for all foster children and they would all recieve medicaid until age 18. We also have to pick our own attorney, we were given the name of 2 or we can get our own. We are starting to think something is fishy about this adoption. We are still going through with it and will pay the fees for our 4 yo. Has anybody in Alabama adopted siblings with this situation before?
Thanks
