The Nebraska Adoption Agencies Association is a collaboration of agencies who care about children and families. We strive to act as an advocate for any family considering adoption.
Benefits of working with an agency….
-
Adoption entails more than a legal document. An agency will assist you in navigating the legal, social, and emotional issues while ensuring that ethical standards are maintained.
-
Information, education, and support are provided by qualified and experienced adoption professionals.
-
-
Adoption is a lifetime event for all family members. A licensed child placing agency provides support to all members of your family throughout the life stages.
-
Support and guidance are offered to the pregnancy client who is considering adoption.
-
Records are permanently maintained for future services.
While each adoption is unique, according to Nebraska state law, a home study must be completed and approved by a licensed child placing agency for each adoption that occurs in the state.
A home study is an educational process that includes at least six face-to-face hours with an adoption professional, gathering information about the prospective parent(s) to help determine the safety and suitability of the prospective adoptive family.
How do I begin….
-
Contact and interview the licensed child placing agencies in your area.
-
Make a decision about what type of adoption is right for your family.
-
Choose the agency you wish to work with an being the home study process.
-
Educate yourself on how parenting through adoption differs from parenting a child by birth.
