Section 170-F:4 Subsidy. - New Hampshire Statutes

The commissioner or his designee, after consultation with the official responsible for the administration of welfare in the legally chargeable county, may make or require subsidy payments to an adoptive family (as needed on behalf of a hard-to-place child) where the adoptive family has the capability of providing the permanent family relationships needed by such child in all areas except financial, as determined by the commissioner or his designee. Subsidy payments may be made under this chapter only pursuant to a subsidy payment agreement entered into by the commissioner or his designee and the adoptive parents concerned prior to completion of the adoptive process, but subsidy payments may be made before such adoption becomes final.
