What are the responsibilities of the agencies under the ICPC?
The sending agency although it no longer has physical custody of the child, still retains all legal and financial responsibility. This means the sending agency retains the right to make all decisions regarding the care and custody of the child while the child is in the receiving state. The sending agency also must keep the receiving agency up-to-date on any changes regarding the status of the child during the placement. The receiving agency is responsible for the maintenance and welfare of the child during the childs stay in the receiving state.
