Child placing agency (CPA) expectations.

The department requires CPAs to:
(1) Be licensed or certified under chapter 74.15 RCW.
(2) Have a contract with the department to provide child or youth placement and related services. The department will only place and pay for services to an agency that the department has a contract with.
(3) Document the services provided as required in their contract.
(4) Maintain the licenses of their foster family homes, so placements of children or youth may occur.
(5) Provide support services to the foster parents.
(6) Be financially responsible for placement costs for a child or youth that the CPA brought from another country for adoption if the adoption is not finalized, disrupts prior to finalization, or until they reach age 18.
