The conditions would be for:Those who adopt a child they’ve been fostering can apply for a $15,000 one-time payment. If the child has one or more special needs prior to the adoption finalization, the parent can apply for a one-time payment of $20,000. According to Adoption Network Cleveland, this could be a very huge help in getting more children adopted in the state.
