I'm adopting my 12 year old daughter from foster care. The adoption should be finalized around Christmas. I was told that she is not Title IV-E eligible and therefore won't receive a subsidy due to the fact that her father was working when she came into care. I was also told that she is not eligible for a state subsidy because my state has income requirements tied to their subsidy and I make just just a little more than that requirement, which is not much. I was also told she would not be eligible for Medicaid after the adoption.

My question is do I have any other options available to me as far as trying to get her a subsidy? I'm going to adopt her either way but it sure would help with therapy costs and dental issues she has right now. I just want to make sure I explore all my options before I sign off on everything and the adoption is final and I can't go back and change it. Thank you.
