A prospective parent seeking adoption support hereunder shall be a person who has the character, judgment, sense of responsibility and disposition which makes him or her suitable as an adoptive parent under the provisions of K.S.A. 59-2101 et seq., and who lacks the financial means fully to care for such child. Factors to be considered by the secretary in setting the amount of any payment or payments to be made pursuant to this act shall include: The size of the family, including the adoptive child; the usual living expenses of the family; the special needs of any family members; and the family income. Whenever it appears to the secretary that the adoptive parents are no longer in need of adoption support, such support shall be terminated.
