Necco - Lexington

Of the nearly 400,000 American children in foster care roughly 50% of them are unable to return to their biological homes. It’s up to us to help these kids achieve a more permanent and stable family setting. Necco is licensed for both adoption and foster care. Both types of parents are needed. In fact, oftentimes the fastest way to adopt is by first becoming a foster parent. We’ve helped many families determine what is right for them by introducing them to children through foster care that were later adopted.
