An adoptive placement under the Indian Child Welfare Act is the permanent placement of an Indian child for adoption, including any action resulting in a final decree of adoption. An adoptive placement is one of the categories of child custody proceedings to which the ICWA applies, along with foster care placements, termination of parental rights, and pre-adoptive placements. The Act applies to extended-family adoptive placements as well as step-parent adoptions.
