West Seattle Family Connection Center

The Indian Child Welfare Office in Seattle, WA is dedicated to providing services to Indian children in accordance with the federal Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and Washington State Indian Child Welfare Act. They offer a range of services including child protective services, foster care, dependency guardianship, termination of parental rights, and adoption proceedings. Additionally, they work in collaboration with federally recognized Indian Tribes and other Indian organizations to ensure the well-being of Indian children both on and off-reservation. With a commitment to honoring the government-to-government relationship with tribes, the Indian Child Welfare Office is currently revising their ICW Policies and Procedures Manual, forms, and trainings to align with federal and state ICWA regulations. They provide technical assistance and monitoring to their own staff and contracted Tribes and agencies to ensure compliance with the care standards for Indian children. Through their efforts, they strive to strengthen practice and improve outcomes for Indian children and families.Generated from the website
