✨Have you heard of the acronym ICPC? If you decide to work with ASA, there is a very good chance you will learn firsthand exactly what this means!✨![]()
ICPC is a legal agreement between all 50 states (plus D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands) that ensures children placed for adoption across state borders are safe, legally protected, and properly cared for.![]()
✨ It ensures:
✅ The child’s new home is safe and appropriate
✅ All legal requirements are met before placement
✅ Consistent communication between state agencies![]()
No child can be moved from one state to another for adoption until ICPC approval is complete — it’s all about protecting the child’s best interest. We know that every adoptive parent is eager to return home with their baby. All of the adoption professionals we work with do their best to complete this step of the journey as quickly and seamlessly as possible! 🖤
