ADOPTUSKIDS

Please visit https://www.adoptuskids.org/

The Collaboration to AdoptUSKids is a project of The Children’s Bureau, part of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. It is a national adoptive family recruitment and retention strategy to encourage and enhance adoptive family support organizations and conduct a variety of adoption research projects.

The process of becoming a foster or adoptive parent can be time consuming, averaging four-twelve months to complete all the steps needed to be licensed. This includes submitting an application, background checks, references, training and a home study. It can seem overwhelming and invasive but it is important to know that everyone is ensuring the safety and well-being of the foster child. Please contact NFAPA to get started.

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.
