Section 170-F:1 Policy. - New Hampshire Statutes

It is the policy of this state to encourage, within the limits of available funds, the adoption of certain hard-to-place children in order to make it possible for children living in, or likely to be placed in, foster homes to benefit from the stability and security of permanent homes in which such children can receive continuous parental care, guidance, protection and love and to reduce the number of such children who must be placed or remain in foster homes until they become adults. It is also the policy of this state to try, by means of the program of adoption support authorized in this chapter, to reduce the total cost to the state of foster home care.
