Rachel and Gabrielle are still in Texas ARGH! we are told that the hold up is the ICPC in Ohio, I guess there has been cut backs and one person is handling this paper work for all adoptions coming to Ohio. Please be in prayer that they will be home soon. And for those that wonder what an ICPC is;
Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC): An interstate compact, or agreement, that has been enacted into law by all 50 states in the United States, and the District of Columbia, which controls the lawful movement of children from one state to another for the purposes of adoption. Both the originating state, where the child is born, and the receiving state, where the adoptive parents live and where the adoption of the child will take place, must approve the child's movement in writing before the child can legally leave the originating state. This Compact regulates the interstate movement of both foster children and adoptive children.
