About ICPC
The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) is the set of articles and regulations, adopted verbatim into each state’s statutes, designed to ensure that children who are placed across state lines for foster care or adoption and/or for placements with relatives and Non-Relative Extended Family Members (NREFMs) receive services and protection in the other state. These laws and regulations allow one state (sending state) to send a child to another state (receiving state) with information about the proposed placement, giving both states the opportunity to assess the safety and suitability of the proposed placement and ensure that it is in the child’s best interest before placement is made.
