Summary of Subsidy Services 

Often families who are eager to adopt have questions about whether or not adoption is
something they can afford.  There is good news for families who have questions or concerns
about the cost of adoption in New Jersey. 

A Subsidy Program is available that helps families in New Jersey with their adoption plans. 
This program applies to many children in the foster care system; and may include older
adoptive children, children with severe behavioral or emotional needs, and can often be
obtained for children adopted from other states by a family in New Jersey.  Some of the
features of the New Jersey Subsidy Program include a Medicaid card for health expenses
and/or a monthly stipend for extraordinary medical or other expenses.

Included is a specific description of what the Subsidy Program is, who it applies to, and how
it can be used.  We encourage you to obtain a copy of this document and use it as a guide for
your future needs.  You can also contact your local DYFS (Division of Youth and Family Services)
office, or a local adoption agency that specializes in placing special needs children for more
information.
