[QUOTE="slsh, post: 448854, member: 8"] I would think a contract is a contract, Linda. Was the agreement between state of origin and your state, or state of origin and you and husband? If between the 2 states, it's not your problem (one would think, anyway) and your state would need to pursue state of origin. If it's between state of origin and you and husband, it's time to speak with- an atty. Though probably in either case, esp if your state is saying you're now financially responsible, I'd probably consult an atty anyway. What does this do to wm's funding? As far as bringing kt home - her level of need hasn't changed. No, you don't bring her home, in my humble opinion. You could always offer state of origin the option of (what's the term - interrupting, disrupting, terminating?) the adoption and delivering kt and her very high needs back to their care. (OK, not serious on that but... boy it sure would be tempting to let them take contemplate funding services for her in perpetuity.) Quite frankly, I'd seriously consider contacting your legislators as well. MN is going to be footing the bill for kt (and wm) in one way or another for the foreseeable future, well past age 18. State of origin wanted the kids out of the state (and the cynic in me has to wonder how much of that desire was based on separation from bio mom and how much was because they *knew* the level of care those little kidlets were going to need on a long-term basis). They signed an agreement and at this late date, to reneg.... well, quite frankly it just stinks to high heaven. Especially because they didn't disclose the tweedles' full history to you and husband until long after the adoption had taken place. At the end of the day, funding or no funding, kt is not in your home right now because it is not safe for her (or you). She's not on a vacation, she's not placed out of your home for convenience. She needs to be in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) setting. Wondering who would be a good resource for you... adoption advocate? Designated state agency that advocates for folks with- disabilities? I'd call any and everyone. [/QUOTE]
