About AFRICAN AMERICAN ADOPTION & PERMANENCY PLANNING AGENCY

African American Adoption & Permanency Planning Agency is a Minnesota-based nonprofit focused on placing African American children in permanent, culturally appropriate homes and providing permanency planning and post‑placement supports. The organization was formed to address the disproportionate number of African American children in foster care and to provide targeted recruitment, counseling, and family support services. The agency has historically partnered with local funders and state child welfare systems to deliver adoption and permanency services and education to families and agencies. It is listed in Minnesota state adoption/permanency provider directories and continues to appear in state adoption and permanency planning documents in recent years (including 2024–2026), indicating ongoing recognition by public child‑welfare systems. Services emphasize culturally responsive recruitment and support for African American children and families, permanency planning consultations, and training/education for professionals and prospective adoptive families in the Twin Cities area.
