Electrical impedance. Electrical impedance is the measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a voltage is applied. In quantitative terms, it is the complex ratio of the voltage to the current in an alternating current (AC) circuit.
As in many other states, Oregon families who adopt children from foster care are able to access adoption subsidy funding. This funding, on average (for monthly payment as well as a $1,500 one-time payment) results in a public cost of about $7,464 per year.
The total annual public cost for a child who has been adopted from care in Oregon is $8,964. This is close to one reported national average of $10,302 (Zill, 2011). The average annual net savings for one child being adopted out of foster care is $17,636 in Oregon, and it is $15,480 nationally. In 2010, AFFEC contributed to the work of getting approximately 132 children and siblings out of foster care and into homes with permanent and loving families.
