The purpose of this Administrative Directive (ADM) is to provide guidance to social services districts about new requirements regarding adoption subsidy and educationrelated provisions enacted by the federal Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 [Fostering Connections Act] (P.L. 110-351) and implementing state regulations, currently in effect on an emergency basis. In addition, this ADM will remind social service district officials of the requirement, on an annual basis (formerly, on a biennial basis), to issue in written form a reminder to adoptive parents in receipt of adoption subsidy payments of their obligation to support the adopted child and to notify the social services official if they are no longer providing any support or are no longer legally responsible for the support of the adopted child. Lastly, this ADM provides a model letter and certification form pertinent to these requirements.
