One of the Court’s requirements to finalize an interstate adoption is a letter of compliance from the ICPC office. The last document you should send to the ICPC office prior to your final hearing is the post-placement home study; request your letter of compliance upon submitting the post-placement home study and file the letter with the court prior to the final hearing if time permits. Thereafter, you will not have to worry with obtaining this letter at the last minute. This letter is easy to overlook; don’t forget it.

The contact information for the ICPC offices in all fifty states can be found at the AAICPC website which is linked to the blog post below: https://www.southcarolinaadoptionlaw.com/2011/05/articles/adoption/interstate-adoption-1/aaicpc-website/
