listened to what dcf has to say. they say it's the same, guardianship and adoption.
i know with both there is a stipend. I also know that with guardianship there's what's called pac monies. I know this because of people who i've talked to have said this and this pac money is not available with adoption. Also because when we were transitioning the girls to our home from their group home, we received pac monies in addition to the regular rate we receive. These girls both have a lot of needs, the both have adhd, have delayed learning, both in special ed classes. They receive speech therapy, occupational therapy in school as well as a counselor in school. The younger will be getting a pt eval done in school, she has cerebral palsy and will need physical therapy which she has not received yet in addition to a heart murmur. They also have a therapist coming to the house twice a week, they are on meds and all of this because of behavior issues. DCF doesn't think that all of these services qualify the girls for the special needs rate for guardianship. What is your expert opinion on all this?
