What is a special needs adoption subsidy?

A special needs adoption subsidy in New Hampshire is a financial assistance program offered to families who are adopting a child or children who have special needs. This type of subsidy helps the adoptive family cover some of the costs associated with providing for the child’s special needs. The amount of the subsidy varies based on the child’s needs, and the family can apply for additional assistance if the child’s needs increase. The assistance can be in the form of a one-time payment, or it can be a recurring payment. Special needs adoption subsidies are provided by the State of New Hampshire and can be used to help cover medical expenses, therapies, educational costs, or other items related to the child’s care. Special needs adoption subsidies can also provide assistance with additional costs that may come up in an adoption such as attorney fees or filing fees. The adoption assistance program is administered by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, and interested families should contact them for more information.
