A Cradle of Hope Adoption Counseling Center
Founded in 1991, A Cradle of Hope Adoption Center is a licensed Texas adoption agency specializing in identified (also known as designated) adoptions. In identified adoptions, the adoptive parents locate a birth mother/family without the assistance of the agency. If you locate a birth mother in Texas and she needs assistance with her living expenses, Texas law requires that you use a licensed agency to facilitate the adoption. If this is your situation, we would happily assist you by providing all the necessary services to complete your adoption, including social work and legal services.
In addition to identified adoptions, A Cradle of Hope provides the following services:
Home Study Services, including pre-adoptive home screenings and post-placement supervision
Birth Parent Counseling
Referral to Legal Services relating to adoption or assisted reproduction
Assistance with International Adoptions
If you would like more information on any of these services, don't hesitate to get in touch with us or complete our Request for Information form.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Adults who are new to the fostering process sometimes feel overwhelmed and wonder if they will have support on their journey. Your child-placing agency is the first resource. Social services caseworkers provide aspiring foster parents with various types of support and connections. These include free educational training programs, helplines, and support groups.
It is important that foster parents build their individual support network, too. Connecting with other foster families with more experience is an excellent place to begin. Texas groups offer foster parent meetups; you can search online for the closest one.
The Texas Foster Family Association provides state training, a regional directory of support services, a summer training conference, and more. Membership benefits include getting access to foster care professionals and learning more about ways to become better caregivers. Children of TFFA members can also get assistance through the Scholarship Fund.
Austin Angels is another support organization that strives to assist foster parents and Texas foster children. They offer care packages and gifts for foster children and their caregivers, mentorship options, and education, among other resources. Foster children and teens can learn valuable skills that help prepare them for independent living, as well.
