How Can We Help You?
NACAC’s staff have extensive knowledge of child welfare, the effects of trauma on children, adoption from foster care, post-adoption issues, and adoption competency for professionals. We also have a passion to ensure that children have families and families have the support they need. Please contact us if there’s a way we can help you. (Please note that those listed with Minnesota in parentheses work to support adoptive, foster, and kin families in Minnesota specifically.)
If you have a question and don’t know whom to talk to, contact 651-644-3036 or info@nacac.org.
