1) Must have an adoption assistance agreement in effect with DSCYF. Children coming into Delaware must have an adoption assistance agreement in effect with the former state.
2) Must receive a medical/psychological subsidy from DSCYF.
3) Must have been Medicaid eligible prior to adoption assistance agreement.
