Honestly, ICPC stands for Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, and it's more about kids moved between states in the US, not other countries. But people get it mixed up with international laws, and from what I've seen, it's a pain even in the US. I remember my cousin's friend who was in the foster system, and her case took forever because ICPC rules forced her to stay in a temporary home while paperwork went back and forth between two states.

If you're talking about actual international custody battles, the main thing is the Hague Convention, not ICPC. But honestly, even that gets super complicated and slow, and I've noticed a lot of families just get caught in the middle. ICPC was set up to keep kids safe when moving them, so states work together, but it seems like it drags stuff out. Some people think it's helpful, but others say it just makes families wait longer for no real reason. If I had to deal with international stuff, I'd probably want more straight answers and less red tape, you know?
