placement needs and preparing the child for adoption shall be charged to the
district bearing financial responsibility for that child;
(2) the cost of recruiting, evaluating and
training prospective adoptive parents shall be charged to the district bearing
financial responsibility for the child who is adopted by these
parents;

planning, supervision and post-adoption services shall be charged to the

and
(4) the cost of services which
