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 try to guide you to the resources that will best meet your needs.

The Mission of the Nebraska Foster and Adoptive Parent Association is to empower, support, and advocate for Nebraska families by promoting safety, permanency, and well-being of our children.

Resource family throughout this website refers to foster and adoptive families, relatives or caregivers who share parenting with the birth family while seeking to find permanence, safety, and stability for the child. These individuals are willing to provide a permanent connection for the child whether or not the child reunifies with their birth family. They play an active role in linking the child to their past as well as guiding their future.

Our Values...

• All children and families shall be treated with dignity and respect.
