The subsidized adoption program was funded $2 million less than the department's projection. It now appears that a total of $2.8 million more will be needed this year to meet state obligations to parents who have adopted children with special needs. The foster care special needs program was short-funded $445,300, while now, due to additional caseload growth, a total of $615,300 is required.
