HI Everyone!

My name is Erin and my hubby and I live in IN and are trying to adopt a baby boy with DS. We also have a 20 month old bio. daughter.
We have everything ready, but are coming into some difficulties with insurance.

Does anyone have info on this situation:

If we adopt this baby boy from another state will we still be able to get medicaid for him in our home state?

Also, can we put him on medicaid but not on our insurance? My husband is a minister and the church provides our insurance. We have been advised that our rates could as much as triple if we have a baby with D.S. added. We just couldn't do that to the church.

Oh, I forgot to mention this baby boy is already born so we need to move fast; which is why I'm here for help.

Thanks for any advice you may have

is a hard state to do a private or agency adoption and get subsidy with (or it was!)

I was told when we were looking fo r new state the Subsidy person told me they would honor all the transfers of the children we had, but if we took placement of others not from foster care.... I would have to fight them for it (and they did mean go to court at that point) That was 03-04 time frame!
