along with what Riley6 mentioned, here are some things to think about when asking for subsidy.
out of pocket expenses for:
therapy,
insurance premiums (if you carry your own insurance, you may want to add the expense of his portion of the premium),
respite,
activities that promote bonding,
alleries that require special products,
Also concider if there were drug effects or exposure, diagnosises, if this child requiring more physical attention from you or a spouse than normal
In our forms it didn't ask us to itemize these costs, however we did in our minds. In some ways it might have looked like we were being picky about the money but we ended up asking for about what we were getting for foster care.
Keep in mind any potential future needs he may have as a result of his past exposures. It is much easier to request the subsidy now then down the road when it could really be needed.
