I am new to this forum. My husband and I are foster/adopt parents. I want to let everyone know that there are rules each state has to follow through the adoption and safe family acts that was passed in 1997. Although I am having trouble myself in my own state to get them to release my homestudy to other states. By a rule they are not allow to deny or delay a child through the interstate adoption act. That means you are allow to inquiry about a child in another state and your state is suppose to send your homestudy to the state and county the child is located!
Here is a site to find what state your region falls in:

Here is a list of the employees of each state you can contact if your state is denying your homestudy:

To do research on the aoption and safe family act of 1997. Just type that in a search engine and it will bring it up. I have a copy of it in my e-mail. Like I said I am having problems here in Kentucky getting my homestudy to be release but I am in contact with the supervisor over my region. If they don't release my homestudy soon then I will be calling her back. Just wanted to share this information with everyone. Good Luck. If anyone has had any luck in Kentucky adoption, please let me know.
