I have had court appointed custody of my granddaughter since 2010. Her mother is deceased, her father is estranged and in another state. He has resisted us adopting her in the past.
I currently have an adoption lawyer and we will be filing with the court soon. However, the adoption would not be finalized (Virginia) until after she has turned 18 in March of this year.
My primary question is: Is there a rule/law/policy that will keep her from qualifying for Chapter 35 because of the date of the adoption? As I said, I have had court ordered custody since 2010.
BTW, I am 100% P&T with a biological son receiving benefits.

Any help would be appreciated!!
