Assistance is available for adoptive children when the child or family meets certain criteria. To request assistance, the adoptive parents submit an application to the agency. When you, as a fiscal worker, receive this application, you use Ohio SACWIS to determine whether the child is eligible for the type of assistance requested.
The four types of adoption assistance are listed in the table below. Click the links for additional information.
