Mission
To empower, support and advocate for Nebraska families by promoting safety, permanency and well-being of our children.
Welcome to the Nebraska Foster and Adoptive Parent Association!
The Nebraska Foster and Adoptive Parent Association, NFAPA, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, was formed in 1999 to increase the amount of information, resources and support available to Nebraska's resource families. If you are not able to find the information you are seeking on our site, please feel free to contact us - we will guide you to the resources that will best meet your needs.
Resource Family Consultants
Our staff includes Resource Family Consultants who specialize in one-on-one relationships, which provide foster parents with emotional encouragement, skill reinforcement, and parenting strategies unique to providing out-of-home care.
Scholarships
The Nebraska Foster & Adoptive Parent Association (NFAPA) offers scholarships to adoptive, foster, guardianship or kinship youth who wish to further their education beyond high school or GED.
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.
