The following is hereby found and declared: I.

Children living in this state whose resident adoptive parents receive on their behalf adoption assistance from another state should be afforded comparable protection and medical and other services. IV. It is, therefore, the policy of the state, by entering into compacts with other party states and by working cooperatively with other states, to ensure that medical and other necessary services continue to be available and provided to these children so long as adoption assistance payments are made to their adoptive parents.
