We applied for the Ohio Special Needs Adoption Grant in January 2024. I was told the funds had run out. Has funding become available?

We applied for three sibblings and was told that is will resume in July. Is there anywhere to call to confirm if our application was approved for all three children? The funds are to help the families yet we applied back in Jan nothing yet.

I applied for the Ohio Special Needs Adoption Grant and was wondering if they are still processing applications? My application says submitted for approval and have been like that for a few months

I’m in the same boat. Still saying submitted for approval.

Curious, did you get your grant?

The state appropriated 15 million dollars for Adoption Grants beginning on July 1, 2024. The funding was not available until then. I think you are ok. I don't know how soon you will hear from the state. I hope it is soon.

Hello all — I am just now starting the process to adopt a baby that I was fostering. I am trying to understand all of the options. I see that there is the adoption assistance agreement AND the adoption subsidy. Is it true that upon adoption I can negotiate a monthly assistance payment as well as applying for this subsidy?
