Payments shall be made on behalf of a child placed for adoption by the division except that whenever a child who would otherwise be eligible for subsidy payment is in the care of an approved New Jersey adoption agency pursuant to P.L.1977, c.367 (C.9:3-37 et seq.) a child shall, upon application by the agency and satisfaction of the regular requirements of the adoption subsidy program, be approved for participation in the adoption subsidy program. In any case the division may approve payment in subsidization of adoption for a child without legal transfer of care or custody of the child to the division. The division shall adopt regulations for administration of this program with respect to these children, except that all children are evaluated for eligibility in the same manner as children already under the care, custody, or guardianship of the division.
