Foster Care is for children who have been temporarily removed from their home and family by the State. In most instances, Christian Homes & Family Services provides foster care to protect the children while the State allows the parents an opportunity to resolve issues of alcohol or substance abuse, neglect, or unemployment. Almost always, the State’s goal is for the child to return to the biological family.
Loving, Christian foster parents are perhaps society’s most pressing need. Families willing to provide care for children of all ages are needed. Families ready to foster children seven years old and older are in greatest demand.
To comply with State regulations, Christian Homes may only provide foster care for children in the conservatorship of the State in two regions: the Tyler area in East Texas and the Abilene area in central West Texas.
While providing care, foster parents receive a daily reimbursement from Christian Homes to offset the expenses of caring for the child. Counseling and medical care are also provided for the child.
Families that aim to adopt a child should consider the Foster-to-Adopt or Infant Adoption program.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) provides foster care support, such as connecting parents to hotlines and listing information about the licensure process. Besides the State Department of Human Resources, many private agencies in Oklahoma are dedicated to helping foster children and the parents that care for them.
The Oklahoma Family Network (OFN) helps children with special healthcare needs. OFN can connect parents with appropriate resources and training. Their Resource Directory lists organizations and professionals by topics, such as food assistance or disability services, so you can easily find help in your area.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) is part of the Children’s Health Act. You can learn more about child trauma and trauma-informed care. There are also informational materials and training available through the NCTSN.
Additionally, private adoption agencies offer programs and support for any parent interested in fostering to adopt.

i called trying to get information on adoption and where the court case would be filed and i was hung up on mid sentence. i called back trying to ask why we had gotten disconnected only to be hung up on again. it was very disrespectful and unprofessional. i will be going with a different adoption agency. i do not recommend this agency to anyone, nor do i believe they have any respect for you or your child.

There's nothing "Christian" about their services.

I am very grateful to have come upon this place in a phone book about 16 yrs ago..i prayed on my knees for God to tell me what to do because i was financially unable to continue to care for my son... It was weird because i opened the phone book after prayer to look for some kind of help & the fist thing i seen was adoption which i thought & know was a sign from God..i picked this agency because of the name & it has proven to uphold that name because my son was adopted by a very beautiful Christain family and even though still to this day it hurts to even think about that day..i know i made the best decision..if you are having any doubts about this agency i guarantee you that if this is your only option it will be the best thing you can do for your child of any age..God bless may God also send you A sign with whats best for you

Christian Homes is a wonderful organization that has been in business over 50 years and has helped thousands of families and women with unplanned pregnancies. I would recommend them to anyone looking to expand their family through adoption.
