sent shall be given on a regular form to be prescribed by the
Board of Control and no person shall bring any such child into
this State without such permit and without having filed with
the Board of Control a bond payable to the State, on a form to
be prescribed by the Attorney General, and approved by the
Board, in the penal sum of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars,
conditioned that the person bringing or sending such child into
this State will not send or bring any child who is incorrigible
or unsound of mind or body; that he will remove any such
child who becomes a public charge or pay the expense of removal
of such charge, who, in the opinion of the Board of
Control, becomes a menace to the community prior to this
adoption or becoming of legal age; that he will place the child
under a written contract approved by the County Child Welfare
Board and the Board of Control; and that the person with whom
the child is placed shall be responsible for his proper care and
training. Before any child shall be brought or sent into the State
for the purpose of placing him in a foster home, the person so
bringing or sending such child shall first notify the Board of
Control of his intention and the Board of Control shall immediately
notify the County Child Welfare Board, who shall make a
report of the Board of Control on the person whom it is indicated
will have charge of the child, and shall obtain from the Board of
Control a certificate stating that such home is, and such person
or persons in charge, are in the opinion of the Board of Control,
suitable to have charge of such child. Such notification shall state
the name, age and description of the child, the name and address
of the person to whom the same is to be placed, and such other
information as may be required by the Board of Control, and
the same shall be sworn to by such person. The Board of Control
shall require the person sending said child into this State,
or the person who is in charge of the same after he has been
brought here, to make a report at certain stated times, and
in the event such reports are not made such Board shall be authorized
to deport said child from this State and the expenses
thereof shall be recovered under said bond; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit a resident of
this State from bringing into the State a relative or child for
adoption into his own family. The Board of Control and Child
Welfare Boards shall not allow minors to come into and be
brought into this State in violation of this Act.
