Youth Today-States Starting to Move on Federal Guardianship, Foster Care-to-21 Programs

Of course New Hampshire hasn't submitted a plan, because they don't believe in Guardianship by family member's or anyone else. Their too greedy. All they want is incentive money for their illegal adoption's.

Youth Today: "More than a year after passage of  a law intended to give more support to youths aging out of foster care, the federal government is now pushing states to participate in two programs that promote guardianship placements and extension of foster care until age 21.
The two programs were included in the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act, which was signed into law in October of 2009 and allows for two new uses of federal IV-E funds, a large federal entitlement that matches state expenditures for child welfare services. One allows states to use federal IV-E funds to help pay for a guardianship assistance program (GAP); the other enables states to use IV-E money on young adults up to the age of 21"
