Discusses the process and timeframes for placements under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC).
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC). The goals of this policy are to facilitate the interstate placement of children and ensure that children placed across state lines receive adequate protection and support services. This policy analysis used legislation, government documents, and scholarly journals. The principles underlying the policy are child health and safety and permanency for children. One intended effect of the ICPC is that it facilitates adoption and foster care placement. One significant unintended effect is the length of time taken to process an ICPC request. Although the ICPC benefits children, ICPC implementation must be improved in order to reduce delays, strengthen interstate practice, and improve permanency outcomes of children.
Celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Madonna may have brought adoption into the spotlight, but adoption remains something people do not talk about openly. That silence leads to most people entering the adoption process unprepared for the gamut of emotions and struggles they will encounter. In Unveiling the Adoption Process, readers will join seven families on their adoption journeys. Nobody's experience is identical, but they all share knowledge of the unexpected bumps along the way. There are emotional highs and lows, process changes and stressors, and reactions from others to handle, but in the end, these families all achieve the ultimate triumph—the addition of a beloved child to their family. Author Rhonda Miller will prepare prospective adoptive parents for the road ahead with detailed information and insight from those who know it firsthand. Join her as she candidly and realistically unveils the adoption process.
