there are members of the US Senate who are trying to do this nation wide and even for title IV-E adoptions

In Missouri they are basing adopting sub fro non-title IV-E children on family income, which needs to be below 250% poverty level, going down to 200% next year....

you can go to
protectmochildren.com you can follow the links to the message board and get the leg. board to a memo sent out last 5/27 from the DSS to workers....and to summarize what I get from it

1. this year they are using 250% but the law reads 200%
2. kids will get in state Medicaid
3. all non title IV-E are up this summer, and they have strict guidelines for returning forms and are going by last years Tax return
4. all extra sevices will be renegotiated...and only approved year by year
5. reads like they are coming after Title IV-E next year
6. states over and over parents who refuse to sign new agreement or turn in paper work will be denined adoption susbidy payments..."there is your catch 22, cause if you sign it they will not be in breach of contract"
7. day care gone for ages 6 and over as the end of this month

there is apparently a movement in to do this on a national level...
