Welcome...
to the website for AAICAMA, the Association of Administrators for the Interstate Compact on Adoption and Medical Assistance! This site is designed to be a resource for state and local agency staff to work more effectively with families that have an adoption assistance agreement and move from one state to another. It may be of some benefit to adoptive families looking for information on how the ICAMA applies but will not take the place of discussions with the local agency.
Nominations are now closed for election of President, Assistant Treasurer and
2 Members-at-Large for the AAICAMA Executive Committee
Voting will begin on December 1, 2009.
Watch for the e-mail with the official ballot attached!
If you have any questions please contact Ursula Gilmore, the AAICAMA Program Manager. Ursula can be reached by phone at: 202.682.0100 x269; and by e-mail at: ugilmore@aphsa.org.
