the children are IVEFC eligible and categorically eligible

because the Adoptive parents are relatives. We have the

heard whether this is the discretion of the states to not pay

AAP when a child is eligible and placed with realtives? In

addition, no state that we are currently supervising a

placement for ( and that is 7 states at this time) is willing to

negotiate the rate according to our foster care per diem.

Ok, I tried!!
