Foster care
When a nurturing family decides to foster, we wrap resources around both family and child — training before placement, guidance during it, and a caseworker who answers the phone every time.

Our programs
Programs that help children take root.
Everything we do serves one purpose: making sure a child's hardest chapter leads somewhere good — a safe home, a steady family and a future worth growing toward.
Foster & adoption
What we actually do
Foster to adopt
When reunification isn't possible, we help foster families become forever families — walking beside you through every court date until the day your child's last name matches yours.
Explore adoption →Family support & training
Fostering is a team sport. We equip families with trauma-informed training, practical coaching and a community of people who understand — before, during and after placement.

Infants to teenagers — and siblings who belong together
Children come into foster care at every age. Teenagers and sibling groups wait the longest for a home, and they're often the ones a steady family changes most.
- ✓Every age, from infants to 17. You tell us who your family is ready for.
- ✓Siblings kept together wherever it's possible.
- ✓Honest matching. We share what we know about a child's needs before you decide.
Credentials
Licensed, credentialed, and accountable
Foster care is regulated work, and it should be. Here's the standard we're held to — and hold ourselves to.
State-licensed agency
We operate as a licensed child-placing agency in Texas, subject to state minimum standards, inspections and ongoing oversight.
Credentialed staff
Our caseworkers and supervisors meet the qualification, training and background-check requirements set for child-placing agency staff — with continuing education every year.
Trauma-informed practice
Every family we verify completes trauma-informed pre-service training, plus CPR and first aid, before a child ever comes home.
Verified homes only
Background checks on every adult in the household, a home safety inspection, and a full home study — no exceptions, no shortcuts.
Texas Child-Centered Care
We are T3C.
T3C — Texas Child-Centered Care — is the state's model for how children in foster care are assessed and served. Instead of sorting children into broad service levels, T3C starts with the individual child: what they've been through, what they need now, and what support will actually help them heal.
Working within that model shapes everything about how we place and support children.
- ✓The child is assessed, not categorized. Needs are identified individually, so care is matched to the actual child.
- ✓Placements are made to fit. We match children with families equipped for what that child genuinely needs.
- ✓Support follows the child. Services are coordinated around their plan of care rather than a fixed tier.
- ✓Progress is measured. Outcomes are tracked over time — safety, health, education, life skills and vocation.
Questions about our licensing or credentials? Ask us directly — we'll answer plainly.
The five markers
Progress we actually measure
For every child in our care, we track five markers of a flourishing life — because a placement is a beginning, not an outcome.
01 Safety
02 Health
03 Education
04 Life skills
