Adults Adopting Special Kids (AASK) is North Dakota's Foster Care Adoption Program. AASK provides adoption services for children in foster care and to the families who adopt them.
AASK commits to building permanency for children from foster care through adoption by stable and nurturing families.
Any family which includes singles, couples or couples with children interested in foster care adoption. Must have the ability to give a child unconditional love, patience, commitment, be willing to attend training sessions and use the community service that children need to succeed.
The North Dakota Post Adopt Network is a service of the Adults Adopting Special Kids (AASK) program that provides support to families who have adopted from foster care, families who have adopted infants or children internationally or domestically, and to families who provide guardianship to a child in their home. Our Post Adoption Coordinators are located in each quadrant of the state to ensure all families across North Dakota are served!
The ND Post Adopt Network is a support system that offers a wide array of services at no charge to families. One important component of any adoption or guardianship is the supportive network that families gain and continue to build as their child develops. Through ND Post Adopt, connections and relationships are naturally built through program events and offers supportive services to any family hoping to gain insight and skills into the operations of their family unit. Adoption and guardianship can be hard! Our evidence-based assessments and goal planning sessions are in place to help identify where your family could use some extras supports.
Support groups, information and referrals to service providers, monthly family events, trainings for families and professionals, summer camps and winter retreats for kids and families are just a few of the additional services that are offered. Our Post Adopt Coordinators are here to support you through your adoption or guardianship journey.
