The Applicability of the Life Care Plan for Adopted Children With Disabilities: What Will Medicaid Pay?
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: At the end of 2006, there were approximately 126,000 children in the United States’ foster care system awaiting adoption (U.S. Department of Health, Children’s Bureau, 2008). Of these children, 60% were diagnosed with emotional, mental, or physical disabilities—conditions collectively referred to as “special needs.” Despite the disproportionate number of children with special needs, potential parents are more likely to adopt a child without a known disability (U.S. Department of Health, Children’s Bureau, 2008)
