Section .23
CHILD PLACEMENT AGENCY

A Child Placement Agency, defined at 26-6-102(2), C.R.S., is any corporation, partnership, association, firm, agency, institution, or person who places or arranges for placement any child under the age of 16 years for purposes of foster care and/or adoption. The natural parents or legal guardian of any child who places that child for care shall not be deemed to be a Child Placement Agency.

To arrange for placement is to act as an intermediary by assisting a parent or guardian or legal custodian to place or plan to place a child with persons unrelated to the child for 24-hour care.

Any agency from out of state placing a child within Colorado must be licensed as a child placement agency by the Colorado Department of Human Services unless the placement services are coordinated with and provided by a county department of social services or a child placement agency licensed by the Department.
