Mark your calendars for this virtual training.
Transracial Parenting; We Must Do Better
Due to illness, this workshop was rescheduled from February 25, 2023, to April 1, 2023
9:00-11:00 am

How do you parent a child of a different race than you are? Is love enough? We know it’s not. It is crucial that foster and adoptive parents are aware of how race impacts children in America, even if a child is only in your home for a few days or a few weeks. Damage can be done unintentionally, so let’s roll up our sleeves and dig deep into tough discussions, as that is when we can see the most growth, in times of discomfort.

Become a Foster Parent

There is an ongoing need in Nebraska for families willing to share their hearts and their homes with children who require temporary foster care. There is also a need for “forever” families for our waiting children, especially teens, who are available for adoption.
