Our children were previously adopted; however, the adoptive mother has passed, and the post adoption benefits have ended for these kiddos. The potential adoptive mother is an extended family member who is willing to adopt the children, which keeps them from re-entering custody. The potential adoptive mother is working with an adoption attorney to move the process forward, however as the children are not currently in custody the required home study is not covered by DHS. The home study is quite costly, and the potential adoptive mother has been able to pay half the fee, leaving a balance of $600. In addition to caring for these two children, with limited assistance, the potential adoptive mother also has 3 biological children in the home. She is working very hard to cover the cost of daily living for all 5 children. By completing the home study, she will be able to move forward with the adoption which would qualify her for post-adoption assistance. This would support the safety and permanency of the children.

Adoptive mother would be grateful for any assistance, even if it is only a portion of the expense. She would be willing to work with multiple resources if needed. She is willing to be contacted directly.
