Need advice re: interstate adoption (IN to OH)
Our interview in IN on Tues went well--we were matched with a 12 year old girl!!!!
If anyone has experience with interstate adoption, specifically IN to OH, I would LOVE to hear from you. The child's caseworker is new to this (her 1st adoption) so we are all walking blind.
The child is eligible for county assistance, including medicaid. However there is concern that IN medicaid will not be accepted in OH. The caseworker is also not sure if we will need to have FBI check done (we have BCI through Ohio). They tell us in OH that it can take up to 6 months to clear a FBI check~is it the same in IN?
Any advice, resources, etc. anyone could give would be welcome!
Thanks in advance!
