We just got a letter today from DCFS that our July and future adoption subsidy checks will be 50% of what they had been. I pulled out our contracts and there is no wiggle room outside of a 2-year review which could have the subsidy change based on changes to the child's or parents' status, no loophole for incompetent government.
I called DCFS and their response was basically "tough" and "call your legislators".
The Cook County Public Guardian's office is on their way into court for the hearing on their filing for an injunction to stop funding cuts as they pertain to the current wards in their county. I have the name of one of the attorney's to call tomorrow morning to see how it went (although I'm sure it will be in the papers) and to see if she knows if anyone is going to file on behalf of children on adoption subsidies and foster and foster-adopted children in the rest of the state.
Doctor's appointments this afternoon followed by calls to the legislators. Ugh.
I may not be going to Ohio
