Getting Child Support In Name Of Deceased

A friend of ours passed away over three years ago and we adopted her two kids. We keep getting child support checks, in our friends name, for the kids we adopted.

We obviously don't try to cash the checks. We have called many times to try to get them to stop sending these checks or if the kids are suppose to still get the support to have the check made out in our or the kids name. I am not sure, but I actually figured that the state would just keep the child support since we get adoption assistance.

So we have stacks of uncashed checks. Our kids get upset every time we get new ones and we can't get the state to stop sending them or correct the name.

Any ideas? We adopted the kids in California and now live in Colorado.

thank you
