Mo. Rev. Stat. § 210.640
Current with changes from the 2024 Legislative Session
No placement made into this state from a jurisdiction not party to the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children shall be lawful unless the person or agency making the placement complies with and follows the procedures and requirements of Article III of that compact as though the state or jurisdiction from which the child is sent or brought were party thereto. This section shall not apply to any placement which would not be subject to the terms of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children if both this state and the other state or jurisdiction from which the child is sent or brought were parties thereto.
