AAICAMA's Vision:
We envision that, through a nationwide network of cooperation between state ICAMA Professionals, every child in an inter-jurisdictional adoption or title IV-E guardianship placement will have uninterrupted access to available medical services which support family permanency and stability.

AAICAMA's Mission:
To ensure continuous receipt of medical and other vital support services by children eligible for adoption and IV-E guardianship assistance when a child is placed or moves between states and to assist states to develop sound interstate practices and policies through training, technical assistance, legislative analysis, and educational resources.

In 1986, states which had passed legislation making the ICAMA law in their states formed the Association of the Interstate Compact on Adoption and Medical Assistance (AAICAMA) to enhance the administration of the Compact and strengthen protections for children adopted interstate or moving interstate.

AAICAMA is a nonprofit organization comprised of member states working with child welfare agencies, tribes, and adoptive parents to facilitate and support special needs adoption. The association provides educational and technical assistance to enhance states’ capacity to achieve timely permanency and needed services for adoption assistance-eligible children.

AAICAMA facilitates the effective and efficient administration of the compact, addresses issues related to the provision of medical and post-adoption services across state lines, and works to develop and implement sound interstate policy and practice for children eligible for adoption assistance. Through AAICAMA, members work jointly to find ways to enhance adoption opportunities for children with special needs.
