[QUOTE="klmno, post: 219278, member: 3699"] Thanks Mom to 3- it's your link I started with!! Actually, I don't know that I can call them directly, but I'm finding a lot of info online and developing a list of questions. Regarding the medicaid- I don't mind it (it would save me almost $1000/mo- which is one of the big problems). It is the fact that if difficult child HAS to go to our local- county- mental health clinic, it causes more problems than it solves. I had him going there for a while a couple of years ago and it was a disaster for more than a couple of reasons. I think a few other providers around [I]say[/I] they accept medicaid, but then they have signs posted saying "accepting no new medicaid patients". the horror stories I've heard (read actually) are about foster care placements- but they are not local- just what we see on the news, like everyone sees and hears about. I was following these links online and think I might have run across a recent change in our state law that would really help us get difficult child this funding. I am getting ready to pursue that a little more. It says that before, a parent had to sign over custody to get their kid help in situations like this, but a law was passed in the state senate allowing this funding to be used to help families in order to PREVENT a kid from having to be placed out of the home. I need to see if this was passed in the 2008 general assembly. Edited to clarify: The law changed to clarify that relinquishing custody was not the intent: apparently local agencies within the state had been requiring that of families and the state is making them change to comply with the intent of the law.
