ICPC is also involved if a child is to be placed with a relative out of the parent's "home" (sending) state if custody is transferred for services.

A poster noted that you must have 'tpr' on the parents in the sending state for ICPC approval - that is not always true ... ICPC approval is also involved if a foster child moves from one state to another (there are some situations that require this) and if a child is placed in a residential facility out of your home state ... usually just for monitoring of the child's placement should a situation occur where the state has to step in for decisions (i.e. he runs).
