SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded $112,800 to South Dakota as incentive reward for increasing the number of children adopted from foster care.
The Adoption Incentives program was created in 1997 and provides payments to states that increase the number of children adopted relative to baseline data.
Incentives increase if states increase the adoption rates for older children and special needs children.
