Shorstein & Kelly specializes in interstate adoptions and has worked with nearly
every state over the past 30 years. Our experience has provided us with:
- Each state’s legal restrictions which might cause the adoption plan to be
delayed (For example, many states do not allow for payment of facilitator
fees.).
- Procedures that assure strict adherence to ICPC rules. (For example, the
adoptive parents cannot transport the baby across state lines until
approval is received from the ICPC offices. Failure to adhere to this rule
may jeopardize the adoption plan.)
- The varying ICPC filing requirements for each state. All states require a
packet of documents to be submitted. Our experience allows us to timely
prepare and file the ICPC packet for approval.
