Adoption in Nebraska All children deserve to grow up in a permanent, safe, and stable home environment. When a child cannot be returned to his or her original family, adoption becomes the goal. The goal of adoption is to provide a child with a family that intends to offer a lifetime commitment. Adoption is the means of transferring to a child and parents all the legal rights that they would have if that child had been born to them. The value of adoption is that it provides a child with the basic needs: legal status, social status, and a family of their own. Who should I contact for more information? If you and your family believe you would like to adopt a child with special needs you may contact your local Department of Health and Human Services office, or call the adoption specialist at (402) 471-9331.
