The ICPC is commonly applied to cases where a state agency places a child into a home outside that state. This includes out-of-state adoption, a child reuniting with an out-of-state birth parent, a child placed in an out-of-state residential treatment center, a foster family or group home, or an out-of-state relative. The ICPC does not apply to temporary stays of less than 30 days or social or cultural visits during the child’s school vacation time.
