Post-adoptive placement stabilization services (PAPSS) is an optional and supportive service offered to adoptive parents on a voluntary basis. Adoptive parents receiving adoption assistance (subsidy) for a Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) agency adopted child may request services if the placement is close to a disruption. PAPSS is a resource that is included as part of the subsidy services available to adoptive families. If the child meets the criteria established below, additional layers of approval are not necessary and should not be required.
