Don’t I have to go through a lot of interstate placement red tape if I live outside of Washington, D.C. and adopt a child from the District?
A There are some requirements under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children that must be met. Generally, this means that a home study on your home will have to be performed, and your home will have to be approved by the authorities in the state where you live. The authorities in Washington, D.C. and all other states are very familiar with how these interstate placements work. Your attorney in your adoption should be able to help you navigate all of the requirements that must be satisfied for interstate adoptions.
