What time is needed to process ICPC?
In order for ICPC paperwork to be filed, all required documents must be submitted together. ICPC cannot begin until one or both birth parents rights have been surrendered, depending on the situation involved. In addition, some of the items required for submission are not available until the day the baby is released from the hospital, including discharge paperwork and medical records. Only when these items become available can the ICPC package be completed and sent out. Once the ICPC paperwork has been submitted, it takes an average of 7-10 business days to process. This is an average time frame and some ICPC offices can take longer. Adoptive families should make the necessary arrangements to stay in the state for at least 2 weeks.

We encourage you to use the time to bond with your newest family m
