Conditions for Placement – A sending agency may not send a child into a receiving state for placement in foster care, an adoptive home, a child-caring agency, or an institution without first providing notice to the appropriate public authorities in the receiving state. The appropriate public authorities in the receiving state must then provide written notification that the placement “does not appear to be contrary to the interests of the child.” MDCPS workers and other Mississippi sending agencies are prohibited from placing children across state lines until the receiving state issues a written approval on ICPC-100A.
