The general assembly hereby finds
that it is desirable to find adoptive parents for children with special needs as
specified in article 7 of title 26, C.R.S., to make payments in subsidization of the
adoption of such children, and to protect the interests of such children throughout
their minority. Pursuant to authorization contained in Title IV-E and Title XIX of the

to authorize the department of human services to enter into interstate compacts to
address the problems arising for special needs children and their parents when
they move to other states, or are residents of another state, and to facilitate the
provision of medical and other necessary services for special needs children when
the provision of services takes place in another state.
