Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children

#FFFFFF

The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) is a law that has been enacted by all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This law establishes orderly procedures for the interstate placement of children and fixes responsibilities for those involved in placing the child.

Expand the sections below for more information about the ICPC.

Association of Administrators of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (AAICPC)

The Association of Administrators of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (AAICPC) was established in 1974 and consists of members from all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The AAICPC has authority under ICPC to "promulgate rules and regulations to carry out more effectively the terms and provisions of this compact." The AAICPC obtains its Secretariat Services, as an affiliate of the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA).

For more information on the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, visit the APHSA/AAICPC website. The website features:

  • ICPC Articles
  • ICPC Regulations
  • Colorado ICPC County Liaisons List

View a list of all 52 ICPC member state contacts.

Why is a compact needed?

Children and youth placed out of state need the same protection and services that would be provided if they remained in their home state. They must also be assured of a return to their original jurisdiction should the placement prove not to be in their best interest.

Who can initiate the Interstate Compact?

An ICPC can be initiated by private individuals, the court, child placement agencies, adoption agencies and public agencies.

Types of placements covered under the ICPC when a child is under the jurisdiction of a county department, court or child placement agency:

  • Parent
  • Relative
  • Foster
  • Adoptive
  • Group home

ICPC can also be initiated by parents/guardians for the following placements:

  • Private placements
  • Residential placements - Article VI (adjudicated delinquents) with private institution
  • Child-specific ICPC cases with (Child Placement Agency [CPA] governance) on a case-by-case basis/review

Types of placements excluded from the ICPC:

  • Primary education institutions - See ICPC Regulation 4
  • Hospital or other medical facility -  See ICPC Regulation 4
  • Institution for mentally ill or mentally acute care, both psychiatric, medical & custodial care for minors -  See ICPC Regulation 4
  • Outpatient Care Services -  See ICPC Regulation 4
  • Parent-to-relative when parent or relative has custody (Article VIII) - See ICPC Regulation 2
  • Courtesy check by sending court for parent placement - See ICPC Regulation 2
  • Job corps (Not required in CO but may be required in another state)
  • Visits up to 30 days and during summer school vacation with court approval - See ICPC Regulation 9
  • Boarding schools 
ICPC in Colorado

Colorado decentralized its ICPC function to the 64 Colorado local county departments of social/human services. Each county has an ICPC liaison or liaison team that processes and monitors interstate placements. Current Colorado County ICPC Liaisons can be located on the AAICPC Resources page of the APHSA website, at the bottom of the Rules, Regulations, and Additional Information section. 

In Colorado, the Interstate Compact law is found in the Colorado Revised Statutes — CRS 24-60-1801, CRS 24-60-1802, CRS 24-60-1803 — and provides guidance for ICPC County Liaisons.

For Colorado's policy and procedures on the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) see Volume 7.307.

ICPC requests should be forwarded directly to the appropriate local county ICPC liaison or related state agencies as identified below:

  • County ICPC responsibilities - Home Studies
  • Lutheran ICPC responsibilities - Private Adoptions/International Adoptions
  • CO State ICPC responsibilities - Residential placements (parental custody,public custody),  parental/guardian requests, court requests, probation requests, and requests from public agencies for placement in foster homes under the governance of a child placement agency
     
ICPC private adoptions (ICPC Regulation 12)

If a child is born in one state, commonly known as the "sending state" and the adoptive family lives in another state, called the "receiving state," the adoption placement must be approved by ICPC. For the purpose of an adoption, it is illegal to move a child across state lines without meeting the requirements of the ICPC.

The documentation submitted to the ICPC for approval includes:

  • The adoptive parents home study
  • The child's birth information and other health information
  • Biological information on the birth parents
  • Relinquishment or termination documentation from the birth parents

Documentation for the child and the adopting parents will be reviewed by the “receiving state’s" ICPC office to verify that their state laws have been followed.

Once approval has been made with both states (sending and receiving), the child can be placed with the adopting family from the receiving state.

ICPC documentation requirements for Colorado as the sending state

(b) A Form ICPC-100B (view instructions) if the child is already placed without prior approval in the receiving state, such as an ICPC Regulation 1 (Relocation).
