You must wait a minimum of 6 months before petitioning for adoption.

	Age 0-5	Age 6-12	Age 13 +
Level I	$426.00	$472.07	$523.78
Level II	$481.80	$531.99	$587.65
Level III	$563.93	$623.85	$684.07

Our "leveling" system is based on the foster parents' skill. Level I is least skilled, Level III is most skilled, according to training and experience.

For a small number of children, we create individual "wrap-around" budgets when no other source of payment is available. These children have intensive medical, emotional, and/or behavioral needs.
