Nebraska Children’s Home Society (NCHS) is a private, nonprofit agency with eight locations across the state. NCHS has been putting children first since 1893, a time of economic hardship and upheaval for many. The founding of NCHS was part of a national movement that resulted in the founding of Children’s Home Societies in 36 states between 1883 and 1916.
Although the challenges have changed over the years, children still come into the world vulnerable and facing risks. NCHS continually evaluates and adjusts services to address children’s needs. As a mature organization, NCHS is ready to make bold strides to serve children and families like never before.
Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to connect families, parents, grandparents, kinship guardians, and children to the resources and support they need to move from surviving to thriving. NCHS provides compassionate support, fosters enduring connections, and implements innovative solutions that help families thrive in their communities.
Nebraska Children’s Home Society connects you to resources and support to help you make an informed decision at every step of your parenting journey.

Requirements to become a foster parent
If you're worried about being on your own as a foster parent, don't be! Many resources are available to families.
There are plenty of educational materials on the Nebraska DHHS website. You can learn about definitions and common phrases, Medicaid for foster youth, and what it means to become a resource parent. Plus, there are consultants available to resource families.
Remember, there's plenty of information you can find online as well. From blogs to books, there's no shortage of educational materials for foster parents. Many informative materials cost nothing and teach you invaluable tips.
You'll work closely with your local foster care agency. You'll always have at least one point of contact to turn to if you have questions.
Don't forget about creating a support network. Make sure to include other foster parents and advocates from your area. You'll face obstacles on your journey, such as navigating the legal system or saying goodbye. Having the right person on your side for support makes all the difference.

Great organization! 3 years ago, we went through them to provide adoption support for our son's adoption. We had a caseworker and our son's birth parents did as well. They helped us build a good relationship and walked us through the process. We plan to work with them again in the future.
