Adoption Resources

State Employees and Teachers Adoption Benefit
State employees and teachers who adopt may be eligible for a one-time stipend of $5,000 or $10,000, depending on the special needs of the child. Your local community adoption agency can tell you whether funding for a stipend is available and if you qualify.

Please research and follow up with Stan Rappaport, post-adoption specialist at ChildNet, at 954.414.6000 to see if you might qualify for the coming enrollment period.
