Contacting Us: Are you already on our list?

The State of Alaska, Office of Children's Services has provided ACRF with a current listing of resource families who are pre-adoptive foster parents licensed by the State of Alaska or who are receiving adoptive or guardianship subsidies, so perhaps we've already contacted you!.

If you finalixe and adoption or guardianship through the State of Alaska you will be automatically added to our list. We will send each new adoptive or guardian family a welcome packet which introduces our services.

Tribal, private, international, and relative adoptive and guardian families are also invited to contact us directly and access our services. All adoptive or guardian families may access our services by visiting the local office, calling the local number or the 800 number, or by emailing us at adoptionsupport@nwresource.org.
